5W-30 classes.<

otherwise the engine could be dam-
aged.<

when the engine is hot. Escaping coolant
can cause burns.<

able for your BMW. Ask your BMW center for
suitable additives.

mental protection regulations when dis-
posing of coolant additives.<

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.
