Hi all, This month I have spent quite a bit on my car i.e wheel bearing change n donuts. I am planning to do the following flushing hence much obliged if any could advise how much lube are needed and the lube specs. Can I use Petronas lube and please advise on the specs of the lube should my preference lube is not feasible:- 1. Brake fluid 2. ATF3. Axle Oil - Never change before. Usually on the above flush, what would be the interval change for a full flush? I have done the ATF flush, would need to check when was the last change done.
 
hello.. beemer04..

long time no hear..

1. brake fluid, can use the petronas or the castrol ones.. make sure DOT4 onwards
2. ATF - use back the bmw fluid sold in 1 liter bottles, it works well with the GM boxes
3. Axle Oil- sure can use the petronas or castrol ones, maybe use 90/140 a bit thicker for less noise.

for the gearbox, go for a full flush, about 9 to 11 liters..

cheers.
 
brake fluid is about 1 to 2 liters for a flush.

Axle is 1.2 to 1.5 liters.. mine is 1.9L cos is M diff..
