I should have done it sooner. The fluid was black. I did another service about 20K miles later and the fluid looked a lot cleaner. I did change the filter both times. As for the front and rear diffs, I use a full synthetic gear oil. I did not add any additive to fluid.
I have an 8/02 X5 nearing 100k and am considering the tranny flush and filter change but I have read so much conflicting information here. Do it, don't do it, oil temps for proper filling etc. How was you experience and how did you di it and what did you use? I have blue label tranny.
