Possible messages

> "Engine oil level O.K."

> "No measurement available: Updating

engine oil level measurement..."

The engine oil level is measured. This can

take about 3 minutes if the car is at a stand-

still on a level surface and the engine is run-

ning, and about 5 minutes while the car is on

the move.

> "Oil level at the minimum! Refill with 1 quart

of engine oil."

Add 1 US quart/1 liter of engine oil at the

next opportunity, but no more than that,

refer also to Adding engine oil below.

> "Engine oil level too high"

Too much oil will harm the engine.

Have the vehicle checked without

delay.<

> "Please observe recalculated service inter-

val for engine oil"

Do not add engine oil. You can continue

your journey. Note the newly calculated dis-

tance remaining to the next oil service, refer

to page 217. Have the system checked as

soon as possible.

Adding engine oil

Do not add 1 US quart/1 liter of engine oil until a

corresponding message is shown on the Con-

trol Display.

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.<

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.

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. 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.<

You can also call BMW of North America at

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.
