Engine oil
The quality of the engine oil which is
selected has critical significance for the
operation and service life of an engine.
Based on extensive testing, BMW has
approved only certain engine oils.
Specified engine oils for the
Z3 roadster and Z3 coupe
Use approved "BMW High Performance
Synthetic Oil" only.
If you are unable to obtain "BMW High
Performance Synthetic Oil," you may
use small volumes of the "special oils"
approved by BMW for topping up be-
tween oil changes. You may use syn-
thetic oils with the specification API SH
or higher only if the special oils are also
not available.
Ask your BMW center for details
concerning the specific "BMW
High Performance Synthetic Oil" or
"special oils" that have been ap-
proved.<
