Back to the original topic, this is also why it would be important to reset the adaptations when changing the transfer case fluid, even if the flag hasn't been tripped for oil degradation. While the sensing technology is different, it seems reasonable to me to let the system function as designed.
Correct!When i had the "Transfer case oil replacement due" message on my 530xit I tried to erase it,but it was coming back after a few miles drive.Pretty sure the control module goes into some kind of safe or low-torque mode and it will not start the adaptation process unless reset.
