- ►BMW X5 front differential service is one of the lesser mentioned fluid services on the BMW X5 or X6 behind the rear differential service. While engine oil changes and transmission fluid changes are much more common, servicing your front differential is just as important and should not be overlooked. Failure to service your rear differential can result in catastrophic damage that will require a costly replacement.
In this DIY, Gareth Foley, FCP Euro's BMW Catalog Manager demonstrates the step-by-step process of completing a BMW F15 X5 front differential fluid replacement.
This DIY requires a fluid fill & extraction pump which you can find in the links below.

Man! That guy has been killing lately with amount of videos he does! It’s very appreciated!
I have the F10 with N55 but do watch all the videos with Gareth
Thanks again, as always Gareth. Great video for the F15! This is on my to do list, so I do really appreciate it. Just trying to get over the sticker shock for the $120/ Liter for a G5 fluid. Keep the F15 DIY video's coming!
For the PHEV xDrive40e there is a slight variation to this procedure. When you go to access the fill plug from the underside there are two aluminum coolant pipes(that go to HV battery in the rear) that pass in that space, preventing you from getting any tools on the fill plug.
To access the drain plug you need to remove the drive side wheel, and then loosen the splash shield just behind where the axle passes through. You can get to the fill plug from there using a 12" extension.
Thank you for the notes on this, David!
If you are doing this at home, make sure you have a long 14 mm wrench. The factory really gets those plugs on tight. A short wrench may not give you enough torque to break them loose.
I has been waiting for this instructions for long time. thanks.
Glad to help!
Thanks
Thanks👍
I think I'm going to buy an F15 X5 after watching all these videos from Gareth. 🤣
I had my 2017 F15 X5 with 59k miles had its both diffs using Red Line 75w85 API GL5 gear oil and the transfer case using Red Line MT-LV 70w75 API GL4. All fluids were dark in color and the front differential fluid was the worst. After taking the X5 on a trip I noticed my gas mileage increasing slightly.
Muy buen video. Tengo un X6 E71-72. Del 2012
Me podrás decir la cantidad de aceite que lleva. Esque no tengo información por ningún sitio que he mirado.. Gracias de antemano.
Thank you for these DIY videos (Rear and Front differential). Are you planning to post videos for 2019 X5 G05 models? If not, can you please comment if there are any differences?
I was wondering and looking for the same!
Which liquy moli oil should I replace for the front differential and which one for the rear differential and which one goes for the transfer case. Thank you
Great Vid. Isn't 600 ml for the front diff?
E71 X6 2008 xdrive 35d: rear diff, there are three sections (6 plugs) for oil. What are the correct types of oil and quantities, please?
Great video as always. You certainly save us a lot of money. What is the part number if you just want to buy the crush washer. Or do you need to buy the plug. Thanks.
Hi Roy, thank you for wrenching with us! Unfortunately no part number provided as the rubber o-ring seal comes pre-installed on the plugs.
Great video. As the video doesn't cover it, is there enough clearance to fit the torque wrench in that tight space to tighten the fill plug? Do we have to remove the splash shield?
Why would you torque spec a fill plug ?
Is it okay to use liqui moly gear oil for the diffs?
transfer case fluid diy?
Is there a torque spec for those clamps ?
Great video as always guys... quick question. Would this be the same or very similar job on the E70 X5 ? like the rear diff is ?
The process will be very similar! The plugs will look a bit different and the locations of them may vary a bit, but the process itself is straight forward.
@@fcpeuro ... thanks for your replay 👍🏼 just done this job on my 2009 E70 X5 Xdrive. Interestingly only 600 millilitres of the original front diff oil came out 🤔 seems a bit low as the rear diff had almost 1 litre (950 ml).
looked like the new plugs didn't go in well with hand
Why u use G2 for front and G3 for back
Is the X5 actually Gareth’s car?))
do you have a video for a f15 transfer case?
Hi James, we have a video in our playlist on the transfer case mount replacement!
Hi do you have a video how to change front diff on bmw x5 f15 40d 2014 ?
Hi Niki, we do not have a video on the differential replacement, but we do have a service video coming out soon on it!
Did y’all reuse the reinforcement plate bolts or use new ones?
Hi Tfunk, you always want to replace those as they are one-time use. We filmed multiple jobs with this X5, which required the plate to come off again, so we saved the new hardware for the final DIY.
@@fcpeuro got it! 👍
How much fluid was needed to refill?
Hi Robert, the differential takes about 1L give or take, no more than that. We still had a bit left in the fill tool from the two 500ML bottles we poured in.
You gonna need to reset the adaptations after the TC fluid change
Conveniently not showing the torqueing of the fill plug
Hi my front diff broke and leaked oil from it, ive had the diff replaced but the car stinks of the gear oil, what can i do to fix this? Id appreciate your help
You will want to use some degreaser and a power washer to try and get some of the residual oil off the underneath of the vehicle.
Mines broke too😭... its so damn expensive
What is part number for the plug?
The part number for the plug is 33117525064
About to take on this task on my F15 X5. I want to ensure clarity...this is NOT the QMV differential that comes with the adaptive suspension, is that correct? I'd swear I had adaptive suspension, but a vin decoder and my diff looking exactly like this video indicates that I do not.
Hi Benjamin, no adaptive on this X5!
Fcpeuro I’m local about 15 minutes away. I’m looking for a fuel return hose on a 2005 vw Passat 1.8t. I can not find one anywhere not even the dealer. Any help would be great. This is the daily and need it back up and running, can’t keep putting miles on the s4.
M8 would it kill you to check their website?
The 6 bolts that attach the reinforcement plate to the chassis are one time use bolts. You're not supposed to reuse them again.
So what happened?
I agreed that they should be replaced just like bolts for oil pan (touque + 90 deg, they were stretched) or transmission pan.

Boss, i have x1 2010 model, the front diff is gone, and im looking to buy another one, my diff details 2.79 7583773 . And it’s very hard to find, My question can i replace with other diff number? Or should be the same. Please advise thanks 🙏
Make sure to reset adaptions for the metal shield you torqued for no reason 😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡🤡
