Final drive fluids changeover
All models with option 209
Subject:
A new approved fluid is being made available for all final drives with limited-slip differential
(option 209) in connection with the introduction of the Z3 Roadster. The new fluid is called
"BMW Hinterachsgetriebeöl Synthetik
MSP/A" (BMW final drive fluid synthetic MSP/A) and it will replace "BMW
Hinterachsgetriebeöl MSP" (BMW final drive fluid MSP).
Effect:
It is not permitted under any circumstances to fill up the final drive on a Z3 Roadster with
limited-slip differential with MSP fluid. It is imperative that MSP/A is used in this instance,
as if the wrong type of fluid is used, creaking noises can be heard when the vehicle is in
motion.
Procedure:
The final drives should be filled with the prescribed fluid.
Any MSP fluid dealers may still have can be used up on any model except for the Z3
Roadster.
Parts:
Hypoid fluids for final drives with plate-design self-locking limited-slip differential
