Transmission and Read Axle Differential Oil

[Gregorrad]

This one works like a charm on my truck towing 25000 pounds. Technically, truck diff have a few more gears and few more bearings but principle is the same. I have 7 bikes in the garage and no issues for years.View attachment 11234

I love the buying in bulk approach. If only we could get BMW, in writing, to say 75W-90 is ok to use. 2.8 years from now, it won’t bother me at all to try something different…

All I can say is the two of my local BMW dealers user 75W-90 when they service the final drive and transmission. They do not use the official BMW oil.

My local dealer has stated the same.

I also use the Mopar 70W80. It has the identical specs as the BMW gear oil!!!!!

Well I just finished changing the final drive oil ... with the Schaeffer's 75/90 ... I will let you know if it goes sideways

When I did the first service myself the dealer sold me 75w-90 saying that’s what they used. I’m going by this week to get all the parts for the 10k service and will ask about using it for the transmission as well. $40 cdn per litre.
