Grumpa72 Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 ref my '05 330, I am looking for a DIY site, perhaps even with photos of the plugs and such. I am an accomplished gear head (well at least with regards to classic cars and normal DIY stuff on my other cars) and not afraid to tackle anyting. And I don't own any manuals for this car, yet. After doing my oil and filter change I went to enter the data in the maintenance log and noticed a transfer case and differential fluid change. At 15000 miles? :( On a car driven by a little old lady (don't tell my wife I said this! ;) ). FWIW, I plan on using the Mobil 1 synthetic and I see where others have used similar products as opposed to the suggested 80w differential oil. Any comments on that?

lenore Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 I have added synthetic to both transfer and rear differential on my RX300. works great. I used 75-90 weight with GL5 stats. Bought it at Walmart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpa72 Posted January 29, 2006 Author Share Posted January 29, 2006 The job is done. The trasnfer case is a PITA because of the tight area for wrenching but the differential was a piece of cake. Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
