Officially BMW says 1 liter for each diff (use a GL-5 oil, I'm using Redline).
Transaxle is to be 0.55 liter (GL-4, use Redline D4 ATF)
Manual transmssion is listed at 1.5 liters (GL-4, use Redline D4 ATF).

I'm assuming the 3.0 5 speed transmission on your diesel is the same for the 3.0i 5 speed on my manual trans USA X5?

I'm getting my fluids ready for changing (at 60k now), tell me if this looks right (capacities). Like you I like to stick to the same brand!


3 liters/quarts total for Front/rear diffs (Redline 75w-90 Gear Oil)
2 liters/quarts of Manual Trans fluid (Redline MTL or MT-90, I may mix both)
1 liter/quart of Redline D4 ATF for transfer case



Look good?
