. Have the system checked as 

soon as possible.

Add oil within the next 125 miles/200 km, 
otherwise the engine could be dam-

aged.

<

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

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.

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

<

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. For gaso-

line engines, only use oils with the API SM 
specification or higher.

Your BMW center will be glad to answer 
any questions regarding BMW High Per-

formance Synthetic Oil or approved synthetic 
oils.

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 0W-40, 
0W-30, 5W-40 and 5W-30 SAE 

classes.

<

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

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 impor-
tant to follow the instructions on the contain-
ers.

<

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

posing of coolant additives.
