  • Hi everyone!
    In this video tutorial I will show you how easy is to change differential oil on BMW e39.
    Как заменить масло в редукторе.
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    I changed it on my BMW 540i after 1.5 years. The oil was in good condition but I like when it stays in the same condition.
    You should do this every 100 000 km.
    I used Castrol SAE 75W-90 API GL-5
    I highly recommend to change aluminium rings on both plugs

      @@mikes.garage thanks! I spilled some fluid and it is IMPOSSIBLE TO CLEAN UP😂 it took a whole can of break clean to get the greasy residue completely off. Tightened the bolts as much as I can and I’ll take it for a spin tomorrow to make sure everything is in order.

      If you have torque wrench, you can tight it to 70 Nm or 52 ft-lb

    I've just bought a 2000 E39, and the differential housing looks very black, have yet to get it up on a jack and inspect it. Might it be that the oil has leaked out and all around the outer housing?

    • @mikes.garage
      @mikes.garage  3 роки тому

      Maybe oil is coming out thru axle seals. Usually is coming out very small amount, then dust sticks and looks bad.

      @mikes.garage  6 років тому

      +Bat Man Yes, it is the same process and the same oil. If you are in mostly warm climate you can use sicker oil 80W-90. Use 90W-145 weight if you are in hot climate.
