BMW F30 Front Differential Fluid Replacement DIY (BMW 328i, 335i & More)

►Replacing the BMW F30 front differential fluid, or the differential fluid in any car for that matter is an often overlooked regular maintenance task.

One of the most important parts of differential fluid replacement is the fluid itself. Choosing the correct gear oil will ensure a long, trouble-free life for your BMW’s differential. In the case of the BMW F30 328i, we recommend Genuine BMW Hypoid Axle Oil G2. This is the only oil on the market compatible with these front differentials.

In this video, Gareth Foley, FCP Euro’s BMW Catalog Manager, covers how to replace your old differential fluid with new fluid using minimal tools. This is a job anyone can complete in their garage or driveway.

So, what is the mileage interval for changing differential fluid? 60k? 70k? Would you recommend swapping these fluids at the same time as the transmission fluid?

hynessiu says:

Could we please also get an f30 transfer case fluid exchange diy?

Sekhar says:

Hi, Is the Differential fluid only for xDrive vehicles ??

Adnan Huremkic says:

I sense a oil filter housing gasket diy coming next for f30? 😉

Just got some 75w for my plain Jane jetta (mark 6 manual trans) from FCP… I forgot how much gear oil stinks!

Redline can be used just fine.

FCP Euro, if this is the ONLY Fluid that is currently compatible as he says, then why are you recommending and selling other brands on your site?

Parth Dinubhai says:

If I change the fluid on both diffs and the trans at 70k am I ok?

Michael Nikprelaj says:

Hey FCP, I seen a couple people using Redline Lightweight Shockproof gear oil instead of the OEM fluid. Would you guys happen to know if this fluid would work properly in this diff?

SimplyChem says:

Any recommendations on cleaning those fluid transfer pumps? I'm trying to reduce cross-contamination between lubricants, and just using brakleen eats whatever plastic I put it on.

Khan S says:

Would it hurt anything if you were at like 90K-100K miles when you did this?
