Do not add the maximum amount of 
1.1 US quarts/1 liter of engine oil until a corre-
sponding message is shown on the Control Dis-
play.

Add oil within the next 125 miles/200 km,

aged.

<

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

the containers. Otherwise, health hazards may 
result.

<

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

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.
Use only approved BMW High Performance 
Synthetic Oil.
If you are unable to obtain BMW High Perfor-
mance Synthetic Oil, you can add small 

amounts of another synthetic oil between oil 
changes. Use only oils with the API SH specifi-
cation or higher.

Ask your BMW center for details concern-
ing the specific BMW High Performance 

Synthetic Oil or synthetic oils which have been 
approved.

Viscosity is the oil flow rating as defined in SAE 
classes.
The selection of the correct SAE class depends 
on the climatic conditions in the area where you 
typically drive your BMW.

Approved oils are in SAE classes 5W-40 
and 5W-30.

<

These oils may be used for driving in all ambient 
temperatures.

Not all commercially available additives are suit-
able for your BMW. Ask your BMW center for 
suitable additives.

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

are hazardous to your health.

mental protection regulations when dis-

posing of coolant additives.
