BMW e92 328i rear diff fluid?

[AngryScientist]

I've had my old I6 e92 off the road for several years and getting ready to bring it back on the road and do some driving this summer.

Anyway, changing all fluids is part of the plan.

Having a little trouble searching. What weight oil for the rear diff, and what is the capacity? I'm thinking anything synthetic that meets the spec is fine.

It's an 07, I've owned it since new, and I'm sure the fluid has never been changed. Just had to order a 14mm hex socket as unbelievably I dont own one!

Thanks in advance.

I used Amsoil SVG 75w-90 in my e90 rear diff and valvoline 75w-90 in my brother's car. They took about 700ml or so. Sucking the fluid out kinda sucks.

This thread may get moved to the proper section, nonetheless any GL-5 75w90 will do the trick. Very good price here for a very good oil: Mobil 1 Delvac 75w90

Any 75W90. E90 diff's are very easy on fluid. Little less than quart.

Thanks guys. At 10 bucks, that M1 seems like a no-brainer. Perfect.
