Which oils?

Going round in circles here, looked in the online manual for the specs but so many posts on here contradicting it using something different and you tube vids using something again I'm now not sure what to bloody use 🤣

So plan is to do haldex service, diff oil and now the PTU

Haldex, I plan on using this kit so I think that's sorted



Rear diff, febi 75w-90 or should it be 80w-90, people seem to be using both?







Front PTU consensus seems to be 75w-80




Am I way off here?

I have a more recent model, there is a list of type & volume of all fluids in the 'Owner's Handbook' which normally sits in the glovebox. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

Don't have that manual but gone through the online manual which says what I need but a lot of people are deviating from that as per the forum posts and how to guides which is why I've asked to try and get some clarity, more often than not the manual is outdated, it would be 17 years old now and things change

Hi Pitkin.
A read through this will help hopefully, i note you have a MY07 manual so gear box oil will be different to an Auto which i am in the process of changing.
