slap_ed Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 I'm sure I've read somewhere that the BMW Titan diff oil level should not be up to the level of the filling hole and should be a certain distance below. Anybody building new kits with information on the diff oil level?Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottR400D Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 I’ve always run mine with oil up to the level hole and never had an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Kay Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 There's some very interesting discussion in the archives but it's scattered across multiple threads, includes:Which backplate?Which filling hole?Workshop Notice 542.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slap_ed Posted May 18, 2019 Author Share Posted May 18, 2019 Thanks both. I have tried to search the archives but nothing mentioned the oil level other than letting it dribble out of the filler hole. I’ve done as you’ve mentioned and filled it to this level which was the default option. I thought I’d Read somewhere to fill it about 10mm below this level due to excess pressure and weeping past the seals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slap_ed Posted May 18, 2019 Author Share Posted May 18, 2019 Thanks Jonathan, I think that was the one I read a while ago but obviously missed it even though you prompted me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
