CASTROL SYNTRANS B 75W

Fully synthetic manual gearbox oil meeting ZF TE-ML 11 specification and offering superior low temperature shiftability, especially suitable for BMW vehicles.
So use same oil for gearbox and diff ?

Opie oils said thats incorrect, And I'll need "Castrol Syntrax Longlife 75W-90 Multivehicle Axle Fluid"
Diff done, used marcos tut with a draper oil syringe, onlt other tool needed was 14mm hex again I got draper socket one, no jacking up required, Only thing to note getting the leverage on the wrench to undo the plug I used a jack under the wrench handle to persuade it open.

And oil coming out looked like new, plus the car has done 153k :)
