Changing a bunch of fluids any recommendations?

SilentAttack · 10-05-2013, 07:32 PM

I have a week off so I am going to do a big routine maintenance fluid change on my 2009 328i Xdrive

Oil Change: Mobile 1 0w40
Differental fluid (front and back)? Mobile 1 75w90
Transfer Case: BMW specific 75w
Transmission Flush + Filter/Gasket change: Castrol Dextron VI

In a few weeks I will do a full rotor/ Brake change and Brake fluid flush..

Just rolled 80k. Im trying to figure out if the Mobile 1 75w-90 LS is going to be ok for the differentials. I dont see why not but I guess we have an "open" differental

I used redline fluids for both my diff's and trans. Definitely worth changing all fluids stated above

For oil I use PurÖl Elite series

and the rest transmission and diff I use Motul.
