After months of glancing at this tread, i finally decided to take a peek (my position was that I had confidence in my Ad and their service dept)...BUT ALAS!! wrong diff oil!! I spent hours on line trying to do more research but got no resolution/ info on availability of the "correct fluid".
I called in this AM and I am happy to report that this whole thing has a very simple explanation:
Part # 83 22 1 470 080 IS THE SAME STUFF AS # 83 22 1 427 993.
The diffecence is that the originally posted "correct diff oil" is the 55 L container supplied to the dealerships and the part numbers listed on the invoice are the 500cc bottles. There was a shortage of the 55 liter containers at the begining which lasted for months hence the 500cc bottles were used.
I even got them to fax this info over to me to keep for my records.
...If this info is a re-post then I'm terribly sorry for the waste of a post.
