Gearbox oil

Post by Zoso » Sat Jul 20, 2019 3:57 pm

Just serviced my alpina. Wondering if i should drain and refill the gearbox oil. Not sure if i should as it might be oil for life. Any ideas? I guess there is no filter as its manual. Thanks. Paul approx 74000 miles.
Roadster S Lux. Build Number 185#. Number 86 of 167 RHD manufactured. 75,000 miles.

its a lovely idea " sealed for life" but oil gets old and leaks can appear, so i do yes , in fact i will doing mine and also the back axle very soon.
If you ever think I'm off my rocker.. Just put me back in it and walk away... It's the kindest thing
