Getting ready to change mine....can I use 75w-90 GL-5 synthetic fluid with a limited slip additive already added? I already have it at home and wonder if it would provide a little more protection or not?
Thoughts?

This is something EdBwoy might know...I've never changed my rear end oil.

Done. After 48k and 13 years it wasnt black but it flowed more like a motor oil than a gear oil. Glad Its changed.

Mobil 1 75W-90 Synthetic Gear Oil is what I always used on my cars ... it is an excellent gear oil for our differentials.
They also have a 140W-90 Synthetic, but I have not used it. Should not matter, I would think.

Also, A bit of overkill, but I always changed the differential gear oil at 30k miles - about 2 years of driving for me.

I dont believe any M's have the limited slip diff like the sport G37's did. They should all be basic open diffs, so no limited slip modifier would be needed.
75W-90 is perfect though.

When it comes to new fluids (brake,diff,gearbox) I always use the dealer. Three reasons:
If they do it wrong or brake something, it's on them, not me.
These fluids get changed so infrequently, why not pay a few dollars extra to keep the fluids OEM?
I can't be bothered with the mess and cleanup / disposal after.
