Rear bevel oil

[Doctor T]

Just serviced my 07. All fluids except the brake and clutch as i changed them last March.
Old age must be setting in because i can't remember how much oil the rear drive bevel takes. I think it's something like 80Ml and the same oil as the gearbox. The oil looks quite clean seeing ive clocked up 13000 miles since last March, just needs replenishing now.

[Stu]

If its the same as the wet head it's 180ml

I will check soon if no one beats me to it

[Doctor T]

Cheers, Stu. I thought there was a 80 in there somewhere

The Haynes manual for a Hexhead doesn't give a FD oil capacity because at the time, it was changed at 600 miles then in for life.

For a Camhead, it's 180 ml, it'll likely be the same for a Hexhead.

[David.]

The original spec. gearbox oil for a Hexhead was SAE 90 and the FD was the fancy 75W-90.

[Doctor T]

Cheers David. So gearbox is the same as rear drive as i thought

[Stu]

here you go

180ml

[Doctor T]

What is that from?, it's not Haynes

[David.]

This 2007 Hexhead doesn't have separate drain & filler plugs, (Camheads do).

[Doctor T]

Mine has a drain and fill plugs. As he said mine must have been replaced at some time.I will look through the service history as am sure it has something about a warranty claim for bevel and shaft

[David.]

My 2007 Hexhead was as per the video, FD oil changed at 600 miles then never again.

[Stu]

What is that from?, it's not Haynes

Its the BMW RSD manual which covers pretty much all models

Its apparently what BMW use

[Doctor T]
