Adding engine oil

Do not add 1 US quart/1 liter of engine oil until
a corresponding message is shown on the
Control Display.

Add oil within the next 125 miles/200 km;
otherwise, the engine damage could

occur.

Keep oils, greases, etc. out of the reach of
children and comply with the relevant

warnings on the containers. Otherwise, health
hazards may result.

Oil change

Have oil changed only at your BMW center or at
a workshop that works according to BMW
repair procedures with correspondingly trained
personnel.

Oil types

Do not use oil additives as these may
cause engine damage.

Specified engine oils

Your service center can advise you on which
engine oils have been approved by the manu-
facturer of your vehicle.
The engine oil quality is critical for the life of the
engine.

Approved oils can be identified by the following
specification:

Approved oils belong to the following viscosity
classes: SAE 0W-40, SAE 0W-30, SAE 5W-40
and SAE 5W-30.

Alternative oil types

If the approved engine oils are not available, up
to 1 US quart/1 liter of another oil with the fol-
lowing specification may be used:
API SM or higher

Coolant

Do not add coolant to the cooling system
when the engine is hot. Escaping coolant

can cause burns.

Coolant consists of half water and half additive.
Not all commercially available additives are suit-
able for your BMW. Ask your BMW center for
suitable additives.

Only use suitable additives; otherwise,
engine damage may result. Because

additives are harmful to your health, it is
important to follow the instructions on the con-
tainers.

Comply with the appropriate environ-
mental protection regulations when dis-

posing of coolant additives.

Checking coolant level

Do not open the engine hood before the
engine has cooled down.

Turn the expansion tank cap counterclock-
wise slightly to allow any accumulated pres-
sure to escape, then continue turning
to open.
