Who knows? Look at this! https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine...tial-fluid-saf-xjfm-5-liter/83222282583/

Castrol keeps saying successively, every few years, that a newer and better fluid has, first, replaced the SAF-XJ, then the replacement is replaced and so on.. It was/is also called Syntrax. When I spoke with BTR Dowunder, I got a curt, "we made it clear what you should you use"! , without elaboration. So considering how rarely this the change is needed and how imortant the right fluids are, I use the BMW product. (label above), especially now that the Morgan BTR axles have gone the sad way of the Morgan Salisburys :(, who wants to take a chance? I have used the BMW with BTR approval and haven't had a issue in 100,000 kms. I discretely did not ask them about anything else.
