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!

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.[/QUOTE]
