Hi,

I want to know which recommended oil for gearbox and diff for Z4 3.0 (and liters needed for each)

Thanks
 
1.2l i think for the diff and i just got mine from BMW. Not cheap though so sit down when you make the call.

Gearbox i cant remember what grade i got. And i just kept filling until it came out of the filling hole. You can use the same logic on the diff.

And another cheap option from Castrol/Mobil1?

Gearbox oil - 2l (LT3 oil) i used FUCHS TITAN SINTOFLUID SAE 75W-80 SYNTHETIC MANUAL TRANSMISSION FLUID
Diff oil - 1l (SAF-XO) i used RED LINE SYNTHETIC GEAR OIL 75W-90 GL5
1 US QUART

bare in mind my diff didnt have a drain plug, so had to be siphoned out
