Diff Fluid.. Is it okay to use 75w140

Lambobimmer · 07-29-2012, 04:15 PM

I scored 5 gallons of Red Line 75W140 for a great price, $75. I use it in my Jeep and I am wondering if I can use it in my 135i. Any thoughts?

BMW's factory recommended diff oil is the same grade! So you should be ok with Redline's diff oil.

Excellent!! Amazon mispriced their 5 gallon buckets and I lucked up and bought it. They have since changed the price but they honored my purchased and shipped it for free. Amazon is great...
