Mine was very notchy cold with oe fluid - which came out like old dishwater.
Redline DCT improved things a lot, especially 1>2 and 2<1. Wouldn't recommend mixing oils, you don't know what you're getting then. |

But here in Canada you can easily get the 5L jugs of PPE 5w40 at walmart and canadian tire, and they always have alot of stock. We can also get quaker state euro 5w40 and moto master euro 5w40 (shell made this for Canadian tire) which is the same thing as PPE 5w40.

I’m doing my diff/tranny changes every four years and not by mileage as mine is not a daily. I changed both soon after I bought the car as I wasn’t sure of the history and wanted peace of mind. |

You have a 6MT or DCT? Your avatar says 6MT.

Bmw's 6mt uses low viscosity dctf so redlines dctf fluid is compatible, also 6mt fluid requires mtf lt5 spec and dctf satisfies it.

Yeah redline dctf is a super popular option for 6mt owners. I'm going to swap over next year.

is this something that can wait till 30k miles or should i just do it now also: what is the verdict on the proper diff fluid to use, is it MSP/A or SAF-XJ3 or SAF-XO or something else?

Do not use SAF-XO that is for open diff cars and it will likely cause damage to your clutch packs on our electronic LSD. In terms of aftermarket fluid IDK - I would personally stick to OEM fluids just to be safe.

I believe that is indeed the correct plug - check real oem to be sure. You need 2 - one for the fill and one for the drain, since they are single use.
