In Australia. I use Nulon or Penrite fully synthetic transmission oil Low Viscous. Transfer case fluid is the same as auto transmission fluid. Both using the same type

I’ve used the Penrite fully synthetic ATF before, it’s good stuff!

Great video! I have two questions for you on the same early-type transfer case (i.e. 2001). 1) Can you use Dexron VI, as Dexron III is not readily available anymore? I believe Dex VI is a bit less viscous than Dex III when new, and am wondering if that would cause any issues since Dex VI did not exist when this transfer case was made. 2) I see that you just drained and filled and there is a bit of a well at the bottom of the transfer case where a minute amount of old fluid remains and perhaps some metal shavings? Would it be worth it to squeeze in another half or full liter of fluid to try to flush that out before closing the drain plug and refilling? Thanks!

If you can’t get Dex III, go to the dealer and they can supply you with the correct fluid against your VIN. Drain and refill is fine

Do you have crazy long arms to reach in there? I’m not sure I could reach that far under my E83 X3.

Hi I have a 2004 BMW X5 3.0 do I use dextron 3 transmission fluid in the transfer case?

@MTechGuy Жыл бұрын

2004 should have the later Xdrive transfer case which would take the BMW transfer case fluid. I would first check to confirm which transfer case you have, as they changed from 2003 to 2004

The easiest way to tell is the later style has an electric motor/actuator fitted to it

@@MTechGuy I guess the best way is for me just to go to BMW and give them the VIN number and let them give me the correct fluid
