included in each of the elements of the BMW

Maintenance System is found on pages 4-8.

These elements are as follows:

Quality Certification I will be performed by your

authorized BMW SAV center and certified on

the following page.

The performance of certain subsequent

maintenance elements, as required by the

BMW New SAV Limited Warranty, will be

specified at intervals computed by the BMW

Service Interval Indicator as follows:

– Oil Service: Engine oil should be changed

with the engine at operating temperature.

Note: Change oil at least once a year.

All 2005 BMW X5s are factory-filled with

BMW High Performance Synthetic oils. At the

time of the printing of this booklet, the

following oils are strongly recommended

and approved by BMW:

• BMW High Performance 5W-30 Synthetic

Oil (BMW part number 07 51 0 017 866)

• Mobil 1 5W-30

• Mobil 1 5W-40

BMW is evaluating various synthetic oils

for inclusion in our list of recommended

motor oils. For the most current list of

synthetic oils, please contact your

authorized BMW SAV center, or call

BMW of North America at 1-800-831-

1117. You can also obtain this information

from our website, www.bmwusa.com.

It is recommended to check engine oil level

whenever fuel is added to the vehicle.

If you need to add oil between oil changes

and are unable to obtain BMW High

Performance Synthetic Oil, Mobil 1 or

another special oil on the list, use a synthetic

oil with an API rating of SJ or higher.

– Inspection I: Major vehicle maintenance

as specified in the following pages under

Inspection I.

– Inspection II: Additional major vehicle

maintenance as specified in the following

pages under Inspection II.

The following maintenance elements must

be performed at the mileage/time stated

(time intervals begin from the vehicle’s

production date):

– Brake Fluid Service: Change brake fluid

every two years.

– Oxygen Sensor Service: The oxygen sensor

deteriorates strictly on a mileage basis and

must therefore be replaced every 100,000

miles to maximize vehicle fuel economy

and minimize exhaust pollution. The

replacement of the oxygen sensor is

required under the terms of the applicable

BMW emission system warranties.

– Spark Plug Service: The X5 is equipped

with platinum-tipped spark plugs. These

allow a longer service life than conven-

tional plugs. Replace spark plugs every

100,000 miles.

– Automatic Transmission Service: Change

ATF every 100,000 miles.

The engine coolant has a lifetime rating and

does not need to be changed.

Please see your authorized BMW SAV center

for the most current information.

For your convenience, you may also wish to

have your authorized BMW SAV center

perform any necessary operations to fulfill any

state inspection requirements in your area

concurrent with the maintenance elements

specified above during other repairs.

Make sure that confirmation of maintenance

work is always entered in this SAV Service and

Warranty Information Statement. You may need

this for any warranty claims that become

necessary, and later on as evidence that your

SAV has been given the correct and regular

maintenance that justifies its resale or trade-in

value.

BMW has applied the most modern techno-

logical advances not only to the design and

production of your SAV, but also to computing

of the optimum maintenance interval for your

type of operations and driving style. Your

authorized BMW SAV center has made a
