Hello everyone
I will change the differential fluid at my 2020 Bmw G20 3.20i 125Kw 170Hp Automatic car,
When I check Realoem I see that ( hypoid g3 ) with part nr 83222413512 is recommended, and when I research about this part number I see that it is a 75W80 Gl5 oil which I believe that is suicide for a differential that requires thicker oil I believe.
At my older car which was 2013 F30 320i ( hypoid g1 ) part nr 83222295532 was recommended which was 75w85 gl5 oil.
We all know that BMW keeps recommending thinner oils to shorten lifespan of their cars to sell new cars sooner also calls fluids which already have shelf life as ' LifeTime' is another proof of this drama.
From this, can I use the differential fluid that was recommended for F30 (75w85 GL5) at a G20 that needs 75w80 GL5 ? I belive that it will be much safer not to drop the weight of the differential fluid any lower than 75W85 especially at a rear drive car such as Bmw. What do you think?
Look forward to reading your responses
Cheers all
