Checking/topping up oil level in rear axle final drive (Dynamic Performance Control) (X6 M)

NOTE: The rear axle differential has three oil chambers (rear axle torque distribution - QMVH). The outer chambers (1, 3) contain the oil "SAF carbon mod", but with different filling capacities. The middle chamber (2) contains the "SAF XO Burmah Castrol" oil (refer to OPERATING FLUIDS ). The oils will mix if the rear axle final drive is subject to a change in position in excess of 45°.
