Very nice work on both of the posts. I'll "desticky" the other posts so this will always stay at the top.

[Moto]

Well done.

[bmw&kizzyownr]

Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you for posting this. That's why I joined this forum to get valuable info from folks much smarter than I. Will print your summary and keep it in my car .... really, really appreciate it!

[KansasKid]

The maintenance guide for "Oil Change" leads to a thread titled: "Bumper Removal, Headlight Removal, and HID Kit Installation"

Also: The service bulletin for the ole "spider-in-the-fuel-vent" issue needs to be added.

[murcod]

Fixed.

If any further mistakes/ updates are found please include the relevant links.

[SamirD]

Very nice! I'll be using this quite a bit when looking up specs.

[sx4rocious]

Good work! Thanks for taking the time!

- Transfer gear box (AWD): API 80w-90 GL5 hypoid gear oil; 0.9L (0.95 qts)
- Rear differential (AWD): API 80w-90 GL5 hypoid gear oil; 0.9L (0.95 qts)

I want to use synthetic gear oil for transfer gear box and rear differential.
But I could not find synthetic 80w-90.
Can I use synthetic gear oil 75w-90 instead? Any input?

You should be fine with 75w90, as long as it's GL5. Other members have reported that dealerships used Mobil 1 75w90
