Just checked and 75w 90 is longlife lsd oil designated XO. The 75w 140 is designated XJ therefore the same stuff but higher spec AFAICT

[Deleted account 250319001]

Put quite simply, this is the oil i used in my previous GSA. It required this oil in 75w 90 spec in the gearbox, unlike the LC bikes. 75W 140 is a higher spec oil than 75w 90 so thats what i used in both g/box and bevel drive. So if you cross check the specs you find this is better than the OEM stuff and exceeds the specs. There is a few threads from back in the day 2014 ish it was discussed at length at the time. Im not going back into it here, suffice to say this is what i will be using when its time to change the "for life" bevel drive oil.

That will give you 5 services, but bloody eck 32 quid its only 14€ a litre here and even a half litre would get you 2 services for 9 euros.......... original BMW stuff from 28 euro to 56 euro go figure.

Good info and one more important piece of information to add. Some of the gear oil does not contain a friction modifier,If you have a limited slip differential that will need to be added or costly repairs will soon show up.

Ebay no 171155276174 its gone up in price since i bought mine but still a hell of a lot cheaper than the overpriced stealer stuff.

I've been changing rear bevel oils in my GS's since 2000. Always use the stuff BMW recommend. They know whats best. I always use Castrol syntrax 70W90 GL5, however id ran out and had to nip up to the dealers to get one. Its their own brand. Ridiculous expensive. But i needed it as im off away this week.
