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.

Specified engine oils

The quality of the engine oil selected has critical
significance for the operation and service life of
an engine. BMW continuously approves spe-
cific oils after confirming their suitability for use
in its vehicles with extensive testing.

Only use approved BMW High Performance
Synthetic Oil.
If BMW High Performance Synthetic Oil is not
available, you can add small quantities of other
synthetic oils in between oil changes. Only use
oils with the API SH specification or higher.

Your BMW center will be glad to answer

formance Synthetic Oil or approved synthetic

Viscosity ratings

Viscosity is a measure of an oil's flow rating and
is categorized in SAE classes.
Selecting the appropriate SAE class depends
on the regional climatic conditions in which you
normally drive your BMW.

Approved oils belong to the 5W-40 and
5W-30 classes.

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 a mixture of water and an 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. The additives

are hazardous to your health.

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

posing of coolant additives.
