Hi and thank you for the post.

Why don't put redline oil on diff and engine also?

How many litres on diff and gearbox?
And what do you mean with the combination of MTL and D4 on gearbox?

Thank you
I stuck with Castrol for the engine just because I've always used it and the Millers came recommended for the diff so thought I'd give it a try. So far so good, no issues at all.

Diff and Gerabox were both just under 2 litres each if I remember correct.

MTL and D4 were recommended to try and make the gear change a bit slicker. There was quite a noticeable difference coming from BMW fluid and helped a lot. I'm not an expert in that field so can't tell you exact reasons why but it worked for me! Again, no issues at all. After draining the old oil, you put all the MTL fluid in first and whatever space is left in the gearbox you fill up with the D4 to the top which is about half a bottle I believe.
