It has been said that yak fat will suffice so long as regular changes are done.LOL
A multigrade should be better as it will circulate more easily while the engine warms up, and cause less drag.

Better 5 minutes late in this world than years early in the next.

The Ducati dealer who sold me my near-new v9 overfilled the engine oil, and I have the pleasure of changing it. I'm excited to learn more about it.

The fill quantity, to my understanding, changed from 2L to 1.75L with the E5 specification update in 2021, and a confusing array of sources lend the servicer the old 2L number.

Any recommendations for all fluids would be great.

A specific question: if I were to use Liqui Moly for the trans and bevel box (as they supposedly use the same oil), would there be any issue with using their 75W-140 synthetic hypoid differential oil over their motorcycle specific gear oil?https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw-rear-differential-oil-75w-140-m3-m5-m6-z4-83222282583?utm_source=liquimolysite
