Specified engine oils
The quality of the engine oil is a deci-
sive factor for the correct operation and
long life of your car's engine. BMW has
conducted extensive tests before
approving certain grades of engine oil.
Petrol and diesel engines:
The highest quality standards are
achieved by oils which BMW has
approved as "long-life 01" oils.
Use only an approved grade of "long-
life 01" oil.
If you are unable to purchase one of
these oils, you can top up the oil level in
between oil changes, if only a small
amount of oil is needed, with a BMW-
approved "long-life 98" grade of oil.
Only if no such oil is available should
you top up the engine oil level with an
approved "special oil" or an oil to
ACEA: A3 specification.
BMW Service can provide details
of the oils approved by BMW for
your car's engine.
<
Diesel engines:
The engine oil chosen must always
comply with the ACEA: A3/B3 or ACEA:
A3/B4 specification.
Approved "long-life 01" oils always
meet this specification.
Viscosities
All "long-life" oils approved by BMW
are suitable for operation at any
ambient temperature. You conse-
quently do not need to pay specific
attention to the viscosity class.
Do not top up the cooling system
while the engine is hot, otherwise
you may scald yourself on the resultant
coolant steam.
To avoid the risk of subsequent
damage, use only long-life antifreeze
and corrosion inhibitor free from nitrites
and amino compounds, and approved
by the manufacturer. BMW Service is
familiar with these products.
Antifreeze and corrosion inhibitor
constitutes a health hazard. Store it in
sealed original packs, out of reach of
children.
Long-life antifreeze and corrosion
inhibitor contains ethylene glycol, which
is flammable. For this reason, take care
not to spill long-life antifreeze and
corrosion inhibitor on hot parts of the
engine; it could ignite and cause
burns.
