3. Yes DTF1 for the transfer case. Apparently these can be picky about what oil is used. There is an alternative non bmw oil available that is supposedly the same oil as OEM at a cheaper price, this is what I’ll be using.

4. Everything I have seen says Hypoid G5 for the front. Unfortunately I can’t find any non BMW oils that meet the G5 spec. The BMW G5 is incredibly expensive. I will be using redline 75W85 for front and rear as it is BMW G1-4 compatible.

I plan to change my diff oil and TC oil in about 3 weeks once I get home. Should be at about 7500 miles

Thanks! so Hypoid G2 / 75w85 works for front differential oil. I see some people recommending 75w90 instead of 75w85. Does it have a huge difference / is it compatible?
