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. |
Polo,
I wrote Redline an email asking what they recommend for these part numbers. Here is the response I got:
Thomas,
Thank you for contacting Red Line Oil, sorry at this point we don’t have a cross for that product as we are unable to determine the exact viscosity.
Regards,
Dave Granquist

So I fired off a letter to every BMW email address I could find, some even with a bmw.de address. I ask to forward the email to the appropriate contact in each email if the contact reading the email is not. I'm hoping for a informative response.
