E93 LCI Rear diff oil?

apollo · 06-23-2016, 11:10 AM

Can someone advise me on the correct rear diff oil for a E93 LCI 330d M Sport. Castrol have this listed Syntrax Long Life 75W-90, Differential, rear 215L. It states it is only for 215L. How do I know what diff is fitted to my 330d? Would I be correct in thinking that the 215L is the non LSD version

I think the only E9x with an LSD is the M3 mate.

Seems to be the same oil for all diffs. Auto or manual. Here's the BMW part number 83222365987.

I'd say this is what you want - http://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-737-cast...xo-75w-90.aspx

Product sheet says the same too - http://www.opieoils.co.uk/pdfs/castr...E-8F58WC_0.pdf
