Thanks guys

Does it matter if the bottle say it works for limited differentials?

Wal-Mart has 75w90 works fine..you don't have LSD but they will use slightly heavier weight if you did. I used Supertech in 335I N55 dif, Ford explorer diffs and my boats drive without issue.

Redline is great stuff. I put it in my diff and tranny 60k+ miles ago and feel like the car shifts and moves better now than ever.

LSD oil should still be OK, but I certainly wouldn't buy it for an open diff.

Castrol Syntrax 75w-90 is the replacement diff juice for BMWs that spec SAF-XO.
