The other interesting thing is the part number that shows up in BMW ETK/RealOEM.

If you click on Item 14, it lists the following as the front diff oil for your VIN:
83222413511
Hypoid axle oil G2
0,5L
BMW Group
Oddly enough, it doesn't say any history on BMW Synthetics OSP 83 22 9 407 768 used in the past and it being switched out to Hypoid axle oil G2 which it normally would if a fluid spec/part number was changed/updated. |
Ok revisiting my thread here as it's time to change my differential fluids already again. So I have 75000 on the Redline 75w90 Fluid on both the front and rear with no issues. However I'm pleased to announce that I have found that Redline has named the expensive front BMW Hypoid Axle Oil G2 by number on their 75w85 fluid on their data sheets along with what is called for the rear (after 07/2011)!
So as of model year 07/2011 the
Rear diff fluids recommended are BMW:
83 22 2 413 512 Hypoid Axle Oil G3 (Fuchs Titan EG 4218)
83 22 2 295 532 Hypoid Axle Oil G1 (BOT448)
And the
Front diff fluid BMW recommends:
83 22 2 413 511 Hypoid Axle Oil G2
Which is also covered by the same:
