Yeah, the foxwell is great in some areas and just ok in others. I love it for its portability, lack of a need to update it. I just keep it in the trunk and if I ever need it, it’s always there working anywhere in a moments notice.
I also have ISTA, etc. but that’s on a dedicated laptop and is not a “use anywhere” type tool. Plus, if you aren’t handy with software I wouldn’t even behind to recommend the install process. Which means buying it setup on a laptop is several hundred dollars at the minimum. I also have some of the dongles and apps to go with them. I find them to be buggy and needing updates that sometimes never come. Appreciate the torq app recommendations tho! |

Hello everyone found out my X5 35d 2018 56k miles has the torque vectoring rear differential… I believe this is referred to as the “QMV” rear diff? Having trouble finding the right oil to do a fluid change. Anyone know what oil this one takes and how I can verify? Checked realoem and it says the G3 but I think that may be for the typical/common rear diff but this one is different with the “planetary gears” so want to double check.
Much appreciated |

When I did all the components in the thread title I used three different oil types, not two as you mentioned - Transmission (1), Transfer Case (2), Front & Rear Differentials (3). |

Per ///M spec we use the same 83222365987 in the centre section as we do in the front diff. The p/n between ///M and non on the front diff is the same. So we need 3x 83120445832 and 2x83222365987 As mentioned above, all 3 have a specific fill amount. However, the centre section is the one that kinda gets ignored. OE spec calls for around 900ml(from memory), however most of us have drained around 1.1L-1.2L and put that back in. For the 2x outer clutch packs, they come with a specific fill amount and each side is different. One is like 510ml, the other like 590ml and both were on point. These are the do not overfill, so if you see oil dripping out of the fill plug. You've over filled. This topic has been cover well in the ///M sub, poke you nose in there and have a search.
