Purpose and Specifications

SWAG 33 11 1649 is premium axle gear oil designed for rear and front differentials in BMW, VW, Fiat, and Ford vehicles. This 1-liter bottle of SAE 75W-90 hypoid oil meets strict specs like BMW G1, VW G 052 196, and Fiat 9.55550-DA6, ensuring smooth gear operation under heavy loads.

It flows easily in cold starts down to -40°C for quick protection, stays thick up to 150°C to prevent metal wear, and uses GL-5-LS formula to resist foaming while protecting against rust in wet conditions. Perfect for xDrive systems in BMW 3 Series, 4 Series, and Touring models.

When to Use / Replace?

• Replace every 60,000 km or 4 years under normal driving to maintain quiet gears and fuel efficiency.
• Use during differential service if you hear whining noises, feel vibrations, or after off-road trips/heavy towing.
• Ideal for high-mileage cars over 100,000 km to reduce wear and extend axle life up to 50% longer.

Shelf life is 5 years unopened in cool storage. Always check your owner's manual for exact intervals.
