Additional Notes

  • The BMW Glas 3000 V8 rear differential holds 1.2 liters of fluid, a figure that applies consistently across all three service conditions listed for the 1967-1968 model years.
  • Under normal use conditions, a fluid check interval of 5,000 km is specified alongside a change interval of 20,000 km for the rear differential.
  • An initial service change is specified at 1,000 km, which is a break-in interval intended to remove metal particles generated during the early wear-in period of new gear surfaces.
  • A second change only interval of 10,000 km sits between the initial 1,000 km service and the recurring 20,000 km normal-use interval, forming a three-stage fluid service sequence for the rear differential.
