I use Redline Synthetic in the differentials.

73,000 (31,000 since I purchased it) - checking my records for everything that has been done :confused: :rofl: , but most likely will visit my dealer next week to get all that done - did the water pump & thermostat already - need to check what they did when the Dinan S2 was installed as I told them to replace anything questionable - coolant tank was replaced just before I bought it (warranty,leak) - got to take extra care now I'm down to one X5:rolleyes:
