What Fluid for Transfer Case
Thanks in advance, this has been a great resource so far! 2011 Countryman S All4 and I'm having the AWD transfer case replaced. Just trying to find out what transfer fluid to use as I can't find a straight answer.
I've been told it's a GL-4 Transmission fluid, so Redline D4 or BMW GL-4 Fluid (a 75w GL-4 fluid) will work. I'm thinking using the Redline D4 will be ok since it's a GL-4 rated fluid for transfer cases, and was told the same by a few fellow mini drivers but want to get some other opinions first. Thanks! |
Hi MTBatmanMINI! Checked with our resident expert and recommends BMW Synthetic Gear Oil 75W-90 or API GL-5. About 0.5 liter capacity on the transfer case.
Hope this helps! BTW, welcome to NAM and hope you will be posting some pix! Drive Hard. Drive Safe. Keep Grinning. |
had my fluids changed at the dealer a couple months ago
manual trans fluid 83-22-2-339-223 xfer case fluid 07-51-2-293-972 SAF-XO synthetic gear oil rear diff fluid 82-22-2-295-532 G1 hypoid axle oil there is a note on w/o ... "changed rear diff drain plug per repair instructions on ista" |

2012 All4 s also!
Double ditto. I have a 2012 with 48000 mi with vibration only at 60-75 and the main drive shaft (1000$) was NOT the cause. Now I smell diff grease! I think transfer case failure i imminent. Opinions welcome! QUOTE=hell0kitty;4247596]Ditto here on the why with the transfer case... I have a 2012 Countryman S All4 with 62K miles. My transmission is making some racket. She still drives fine but my spidey sense is going off. I called Mini and asked about changing the fluids and they told me they do not change the fluids as it isn't necessary which doesn't make sense to me. :confused:[/QUOTE] |
my mini dealer has changed my rear diff, center diff, manual trans fluids 2x for me, every 3 years or 30k miles as my friend that owns a transmission shop says.
|
the rear diff and center diff (transfer case) use the same fluid.
castrol saf-xo, a gl5 75w90 rated gear oil. the manual transmission uses mtf-lt4 75w90 transmission fluid. |
