Front differential Oil change - anyone DIY yet?
I got a message from my dealer who said the "Car called them" and said it needed an oil change and a differential oil change for the front differential.
Anyone DIY this yet?? Mike

as per this, the Front, Rear and Transfer case oil is supposed to be changed every 90,000 km. So why is my car asking for only the front? This is very odd.

The PDF for the front diff says 600 ml, but the PDF for the rear diff has a 'broken' link to a table. So I have to figure out the proper volume of fluid for the rear diff. I have that special oil already for the rear. Front uses less fancy fluid. LOL. Mike

I actually went to have secondary dp installed and shop noticed front diff fluid seeping and lower oil pan gasket seeping/leaking. They said diff looked to be over fill and There was oil stains all over the bottom of the pan. After my last oil service I noticed oil drops on my garage floor the next day, took it back they said spillage and cleaned it up. Now it's at the dealer for this, they are waiting on approval to change the gasket. Any thoughts on what would cause lower oil pan gasket to leak. Over fill of oil? The car is really babied with couple pulls here and there. 9k miles on it.

The section on the front diff SPECIFICALLY says 600 ml. Second picture.
The section on the rear diff has no such specification, only that the stuff comes in 1 liter bottles. So I can see how the techs would overfill using the old school, fill until it runs out. This is shown on videos, but APPARENTLY not supposed to are done with the M5????? ODD. Mike

I have 4 of these (500 ml each) so I'm good to go for the next two changes LOL. Unless it's true that the G1 "Should be used"
I'll bet if you ask the dealer they will have no idea which is now the correct oil to use in the rear. Mike

I have the G4 and plan on using that for the rear. I am getting other materials together. The transfer case is much more involved though, as per the PDF you need to disconnect the drive shaft to have access to the drain plug. Nice design. Mike

This the kind of BS that just pisses me off.
The 'F90 Complete Vehicle' PDF has this.... SPECIFiCALLY calls out the volume of fluid for the front differential but neglects such information for the Transfer case and Rear Differential. Lame.... Mike

Bought all the supplies from FCPEuro. What is with their INSANE warranty?...I return the oil and filter (engine oil and diff oil etc) and pay the return shipping and they send a new setup for free? WHAT THE HELL? It's real. But it's insane. LMAO
