BMW recommends the use of BMW fully

synthetic oil, viscosity range 5W-30 of the

long-life rating LL01 (API rating SL). If this is not

available, be sure to use another synthetic oil that

meets the same viscosity range and long-life

rating.

The oil level can be checked with a dipstick,

accessed from the cargo compartment floor. If

the oil level is at or beneath the lower mark on the

dipstick, have your authorized BMW center fill the

engine oil. There is no oil filler cap which can be

accessed by the driver.

The Range Extender engine’s oil must be

changed every 12 months.

Quality Certification I

For a detailed list of items inspected, refer to the

Quality Certification I form provided to the Owner

at time of delivery. A copy of the form is on file at

the selling authorized BMW center.
