I'm not remembering any metal lines in the way...could you post a pic?
For the fill, Castrol SAF-XO 75w-90 is what BMW specifies for non-LSD which is what we have. But they don't sell it with containers. Or go down to your Landrover dealer and get LRN 7591 Gear Oil (which comes in containers)...same stuff. |
I'll give it another try but will try to remove the fender lining. I tried to push the extension through a hole from the wheel well and it was ridiculously hard to even get close. I didn't tape a picture, but I should have. If I fail this time then I'll take some pictures.
As for the gear oil, I just went with REDLINE 75w90 purchased through ECS Tuning.
