Approved 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.

val for engine oil":
Do not add engine oil. Continued driving is
possible. To do this, observe the recalcu-

system checked as soon as possible.
Do not use oil additives, as these may
result in engine damage.<
Only use approved BMW High Performance

If BMW High Performance Synthetic Oil is
unavailable, you can add small quantities of
other synthetic oils between oil changes. Only
use oils of the specification API SH or higher.
