oil is the most thoroughly discussed topic in the archives. chicago bmw is where I get most of my parts on line.

oil
I use what is recommended in the manual. 80/90 GL5 Castrol Hypoid Gear Oil.
You can add 3-5% moly in there if you like. You can get the moly additive at bearing supply houses. Dow Corning makes it. Last time I bought it was around 30.00 a quart. I usually split it with someone.
