These oils can be used for driving at all outside
temperatures.

Coolant

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

can cause burns.

Coolant is composed of equal parts water and a
coolant additive. Not all commercially available
additives are suitable for your BMW. Ask your
BMW center for suitable additives.

Only use suitable additives, otherwise
engine damage may result. The additives

present a health hazard; observe the instruc-
tions on the containers.

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

posing of coolant additives.

Checking coolant level

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

Turn the cap of the expansion tank counter-
clockwise to allow any accumulated pres-
sure to escape, then continue turning to
open.

The coolant level is correct when the cool-
ant level is between the MIN and MAX
marks, refer to the diagram adjacent to the
filler neck.

If the coolant is low, slowly add coolant up to
the specified level – do not overfill.

Turn the cap until there is an audible click.

Have the reason for the coolant loss elimi-
nated as soon as possible.
