  • The E70 X5M is has a pretty complicated drivetrain; and there are a lot of different fluids to replace. This video will help you replace the engine oil, automatic transmission fluid, transfer case fluid, and differential fluid. I sourced all my fluids from FCP Euro and the magnetic drain plugs from ECS Tuning. FCP Euro has a great lifetime warranty that will refund you for any used part including fluids. In 60,000 miles when I do this job again, it will be free minus return shipping for the fluids which will save me about $300. This job isn't particularly difficult, but it can be very tedious.

    Hey man, I recently bought my self an e70 x5m and since I have no idea what the previous owners did on it I been planning on doing this whole fluids service, I just didn’t know anything about this type of vehicle until i bought one, and had no idea where to start, your video answers so many questions, you did provided a lot of information thanks a lot for making a video for people like us that we love the DIY when it comes to cars.

    Hey, did you use 75W90 in all chambers of the rear differential? I heard you need to use friction modifiers in outer chambers and 75W90 in the middle otherwise it becomes chatty.

      I didn't do any friction modifier, but I don't see why it would hurt. After like 25K miles, still no chatter without it.

    Lifetime fluid means ten years 150,000 miles. If it hits those threshold in testing it’s considered a lifetime fluid.

      There's no such thing as a "Lifetime fluid". It's just car companies making sure the car will make it out of warranty without having to spend millions on free fluid changes.

    Up with a jack, no jackstands and you're under it.. Might want to revise your efforts so others don't kill themselves following this video.
