What fluids did you use for the transfer case, diff and trans?

Also does anyone know how accurate the fuel mileage calculator is on the dash options? It keeps saying 13.5 is my average, then says 49.8km/h and what I'd assume the estimated range (which so far has never been true lol)

today I decided to replace my rear subframe bushes,
didn't quite go to plan..........
chocked wheels jacked car up , then removed wheel, decided on drivers side first.
placed axel stands under jacking point lowered car..................
it crushed my axel stand
so , quickily jacked car up , replaced the bolts I had removed , plus zorst hanger bracket , and replaced wheel
so today I didn't actually achieve anything , apart from finding out my axel stands wont hold a x5,
boooooooo

Mine has never varied more than 0.5 miles/gallon off the actual, and is usually within 0.1 miles/gallon. But I typically consume 20-22 gallons between fill-ups. The fewer miles between calculations, the more the computer will vary from actual.

The mileage calculator to actual mileage will vary slightly by vehicle. Only was to know is to check both ways starting from a full tank, run most of the gas out and then refilling it to check actual.

the 49.9km/h is your average speed since you cleared it the last time. There is a also a range calculation but it would be kms only. Range will change based on current rate of consumption.

Red Line D4 ATF for the transmission - drained 4.5 quartz, i was able to pump in approx 6-7 quartz

Red Line Gear Oil 75W90 GL-5 for the differentials - took less than 3 quartz for both

My xdrive transfer case took the special BMW "power divider oil" 75w GL-4, took just under 1 quart

My transmission was replaced by the previous owner at 55k miles, so the fluid was not that old. The shifting was fine before i changed the fluid, but after i changed it, it became buuuuuutttter smooth. i cannot feel it shift at all now.

i plan on changing the transmission fluid and filter every 30k miles, transfer case/differentials at 30-60k miles intervals. The front differential was a PITA, have to remove the front skid plate
