New X5 owner oil changes
Re: New X5 owner oil changes
Why do you need to put oil in a manual? It's just a small book, with written information and pictures.
Shall I get my coat?
...actually, I'd like to know the answer to this too. Also, are there any recommended lubricants, or will standard gearbox/diff oils do the job?

great response 

Re: New X5 owner oil changes
AFAIK the fluids may be specific, though not as critical on the manual as they are on the Auto.
There are a few threads on the topic, but mainly for autos which won't be a massive help. :-[
