Did x drive fluid at 80 something K miles. Should change yours too although its not xdrive prolly atf fluid or gear oil but youd have to check.
From what I've read, my transfer case should hold ATF and thats what came with the Transfer case service kit from ECS. I just thought it was really weird to see what looked like the same color as ATF come out of my front diff. I'm just trying to figure out if that was the stock fluid or if he had it serviced and the tech thought the front diff was the transfer case and put ATF in instead of gear oil. Both front and rear diffs now have Red Line 75w-90 in.
