Differential Fluid
Hey Dudes, what's everyone suggest for differential fluid for my 240D manual trans. I figured I run synthetic, but which one.

There is a Mobil 1 synthetic heavy gear oil which is marketed in the 75/130 or 90/130, maybe 75/120 or close to that. That is what I use. I got it at Autozone or Walmart

Well I ended up with Vavoline synthetic 75w-90, for now anyway. The old stuff had no sparkles and still looked pretty good. I need to take the rear plate off the diff and really have a look at it one of these days. When I do that I'll get some Mobil1. I also need to replace the axle seals, and the pinion seal for that matter.

I think your Valvoline synthetic will be just fine. I don't remember the drain interval though.
