I am about to put Redline 75W90 in my diff… It’s not hard at all but because there is not much space (I think less than 2" or so) to get the hex bit in there, it can be a pain if you don’t have the right tool. It’s a 14mm hex (allen) tool for the fill and drain plugs. Haven’t seen one in Autozone / Pep Boys / NAPA so you may have to look around… This should help a lot: [http://www.unofficialbmw.com/e36/drivetrain/e36\_final\_drive\_fluid\_change.html](http://www.unofficialbmw.com/e36/drivetrain/e36_final_drive_fluid_change.html) ---

The oil filter change couldn’t be easier, the filter kit will come with 1 crush washer used on the bolt that runs through the filter lid, a small o ring that you replace at the bottom of the bolt, and a large o ring for the filter lid that gets replaced. just drain it, and while its draining pop off the lid by removing the long bolt through the center of it (13mm I think), replace all the little rings/washers, drop in the filter, lid goes back on, bolt back through, the oil filter housing is aluminum I believe so be careful not to strip that bolt. ---
