- This is one good resource, but it falls short of addressing differential fluid needs after 7/2011 (not to worry, the video does), so just in case you wanted to read up about it. Great info on many different types found on BMWs.

Great video, this is the way most of us would be able to do this job, on the driveway at home with basic tools. No B.S. no extensive workshop or car lift.
Brilliant and well explained. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Great info on the fluid! Not fully atop the ramps on an incline is scary business.
i agree. and i cant see any chocs on the front wheels!
Hi, just noticed that we are looking into same part number. However, i find that in Redline website stated that we should go for GL-5 75W85 instead. Our part number is stated in their OEM Compatibility section.
Great job! thanks for posting.
Royal Purple Gear Max is GL-4 and GL-5
How many bottle do u need for Refill?
very good video , tks to you . i m just wondering why to change the diff fluid if bmw ingenieurs said not to ( life time fluid so 15 years or 240000km ) . nice job tks
Because there is no such thing as lifetime fluid. They say it because they assume you will get rid of the car after max 10 years. I plan on keeping mine for 15 years or more so clean fluid will assure longer lifetime of these parts.
Hi, thank you for the informations. For you is it better Mobil Mobilube 1 SHC 75W90 or Motul Motylgear 75w85? In Europe, Redline is very expensive and difficult to find.😅
Nice Job C.K. Very helpful Thanks! For a 520d (02/2011) should I use an oil with the same specs? Some advisors gave me 75W-90 API GL-5.
Very useful video. How many miles is your BMW, try to figure when I need to change my differential fluid.
Mine is 120k kms or 75k miles. It should have been done sooner I think. Like 50k miles.
Hi , did you change your differential fluid oil ? and the Transmission oil ?
nothing happen ?
because i have F10 535 and i don't know if i have to change these oil or not ?
the dealer Say DON"T CHANGE
but in youtube they change it
@@albatherq8 change it, the transmission manufacturer recommends replacing the oil
Redline's website says "MT-LV, MTL, MT-85 & MT-90 are not for use in differentials with hypoid gears". Is this the right fluid to use? I've been using it for 6 months after watching your video haha
yes, there is some conflicting information out there. i think my video says that i called them and was told specifically that that fluid is perfect for our differentials (make sure you check your production date). i have been using it for 12 months now and no issues.
Shouldn't you wait until it stops dripping?
The difference would be negligible.
Great video. Did you do your front diff or transfer case?
no bud, because mine is RWD, no front diff. no power to those wheels. winter hit us already here , so sometimes i wish i had a 4WD!!
I have the same Question. It would make sense.
nice tires
Really wanting to do this but can you help me find a better pump so that I don’t have to cut or use wire the way you did ?!
watch beginning of this, they have a pump attachment that does not require a wire etc. see if they still sell it (they went out of business i think but someone likely took over, like fpc euro etc or another european parts seller). th-cam.com/video/IPT3wXga1xs/w-d-xo.html OR exactly here th-cam.com/video/IPT3wXga1xs/w-d-xo.html
Hi , did you change your Transmission oil ?

hi did u buy only one bottle or two since its 946 ml in one ?
$14 for Liqui Moly GL5 75w - 90 Liter on FCP Euro!
GL5 and GL4 are different, lol.
It is important to follow the gearbox or diff manufacturers recommendations and use the correct GL rating. If you want damage brass, and buy new differential, go ahead!
At what mileage have you changed the oil?
What date was ur car made?
Would you know the fluid for the front diff?
Sorry I don't. Mine is not an AWD, so no diff needed.
I have 2011 bmw 535i like you, more than likely I need the same differential oil as you right ?
Just check your production date, sticker in the driver door jamb. To verify , call the stealer and give them your vin, they will tell you which fluid. If same as mine (expensive one), then yes, use what I used.
Shocking, this is supposed to be lifetime fluid... am I mistaken? Cheers
Yes but with ware and tare you can see under the rear of your car that some will have the oil leaking from the differential seal and looks messy. Might as well change the gasket seal, or create a seal with high temperature gasket sealant and change to new oil...
"lifetime" fluids (brakes, tranny, etc) refer to the lifetime of the part, not the car. subsequently... without changing the fluids the lifetime of the part is GREATLY reduced. IE no fluid change, part replaced at 100k miles. fluids changes, part replaced at 200k miles. (just an example and not real world results)
good jop
$120 is not expensive spending that kind money then dropping $1000s
$120 for a quart/L is not expensive ??? whoa.... remember BMW (or any car maker) doesn't make oil anyway...
@@kjhnsn7296 whoa, glad I did my ZF8 tranny + pan for $70 total! (yep found German company pan on amazon for $41, and 1.5 gallon of Valvoline ATF maxLife for $18/g) - 2014 528i done at 80k. Do it, ZF recommends 50k (seems short) not "lifetime" like BMW says, was definitely dark/black - see th-cam.com/video/kXKhZievmSI/w-d-xo.html
