anyone ever use Valvoline transfer fluid in X drive?

Thanks for the replies.
Just needed some re-assurance that I screwed up.
the car will sit until I change it to the $50 stuff.
And I should clarify the parts guy who said they are all the same was Advanced Auto, not BMW.

Why not crack the drain bolt now and let it sit draining until you get the correct fluid?

Also.. Have you got a running DIS setup, so you can reset the oil wear adaptations in the VTG module? While many folk don't perform this (required) step, those who have done so indicate a noticeable improvement in the smoothness of the transfer case operation.

VERY GOOD IDEA!
