Viscosity grades
Viscosity is a measure of an oil's flow rating and
is specified in SAE grades.
The choice of the right SAE grade is based on
the climatic conditions in the region in which
you normally drive your BMW.
If the coolant is low, slowly add coolant up to
the specified level; do not overfill.

6.
Turn the cap until there is an audible click.
Approved oils belong to the SAE grades
5W-40 and 5W-30.<
Have the reason for the coolant loss elimi-
nated as soon as possible.
These oils can be used for driving at all outside
temperatures.
Coolant
Do not add coolant to the cooling system
when the engine is hot. Escaping coolant
can cause burns.<
Coolant is comprised of water and coolant addi-
tive. Not all commercially available additives are
suitable for your BMW. Your BMW Sports
Activity Vehicle Center can recommend suit-
able additives.
Only use suitable additives, otherwise
engine damage may result. The additives
present a health hazard; observe the instruc-
tions on the containers.<
Comply with the appropriate environ-
mental protection regulations when dis-
posing of coolant additives.<
