The capacity of rear differential oil e46 2002? Followup from the Pelican Staff: Your rear differential will hold about 1 liter (M3 models 1.5 liters) of oil, but have a little more on hand in case you spill it. 118 posts · Joined 2006. #1 · Apr 28, 2010. I've know that BMW said that the oil doesn't need to be changed. It is a lifetime oil and the gearbox it's sealed. My M3 has 104.400 klm. I do not have any problem with my smg. But i want to change the gearbox oil so the new oil inside will be fresh for more 100.000 klm BMW 3 Series (E46) 2002-2005 pecs, photos, engines, years, launch date and history Fuel capacity: 16.6 gallons (62.8 L) PERFORMANCE SPECS.

Make sure to do a nice run to warm up the car fully, then do a nice long drain to get all the oil out possible, including the oil filter cannister. When I do that, 7 quarts will get the oil to just touch the max line. If you are only putting in 6 to max out, then you aren't getting all the oil out during the drain period. M. MAXICAT said: (1) the 330s tend to burn more oil, and (2) this is within the range that BMW would consider "normal". Any further thoughts would be greatly appreciated! 1) Mine (2003 330i, 60K, owned from new) doesn't burn a drop between changes (average interval: 5,000 miles) 2) That seems high to me.

The reason there is a greater oil capacity in the Xi is due to the altered geometry of the oil pan to accommodate the forward driven axles. Arthur John "Destroyer of Sleep". eGwEIC.
