00 00 610 Engine Oil Service (S85)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 BMW M5, 2009 BMW M5, 2008 BMW M5, 2007 BMW M5, and 2006 BMW M5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING: Danger of scalding!
Carry out all tasks only when wearing oil-resistant, heat-resistant protective gloves incl. underarm protection, face guard and protective apron.
IMPORTANT: Perform engine oil changes only when engine is at normal operating temperature (>70° engine oil temperature).
An exact oil level reading can only be obtained from an engine oil temperature ≤70°.
Engine oil temperature can be read off in the instrument cluster.
It is essential to adhere to the exact filling capacities specified.
The possibility of engine damage  cannot be excluded if the engine is overfilled with engine oil
Checking and drip-off times must be observed without fail.
NOTE: The S85 engine is equipped with an engine oil sump (oil pan) with separate oil chambers. During an oil change, the oil is drained solely from the main oil sump (rear chamber). The oil from the front chamber is pumped permanently into the main oil sump by a separate oil pump. For this purpose, the engine must be run at idle for at least 1 minute immediately prior to an oil change.

Recycling: 

Catch and dispose of engine oil with suitable equipment.

Note national regulations.

Necessary preliminary tasks: 

Explanation of instrument displays:

  1. Oil level is OK.
  2. Oil level at minimum.
  3. Oil level too high (overfilled ≥ 0.5 liters).
  4. Oil level at maximum.
  5. Rapid measurement running: oil level is being determined.
  6. A reading cannot be taken at present (engine oil temperature ≥ 70°).

Run engine at idle speed.

Keep pressing on-board computer button on direction indicator lever until oil level reading can be read off in instrument display.

Press on-board computer button for longer than 3 seconds to reset the display value.

Run engine at idle until the oil level is determined again (engine oil temperature of ≥ 70 °C).

The required oil temperature for an engine oil change is thus achieved.

Measurement range from minimum (3) to maximum (2) = 1 liter.

WARNING: Danger of scalding!

Open oil drain plug (1) on oil filter housing.

Tightening torque. See ENGINE - TIGHTENING TORQUES -- M5 .

Installation: 

Replace sealing ring.

Release oil filter housing (2).

Tightening torque. See ENGINE - TIGHTENING TORQUES -- M5 .

Installation: 

Replace all sealing rings.

Replace filter element.

WARNING: Danger of scalding!

Carry out all tasks only when wearing oil-resistant, heat-resistant protective gloves incl. underarm protection, face guard and protective apron.

Open screw plug (1) with socket and a long extension (2).

Installation: 

Replace sealing ring.

Tightening torque. See ENGINE - TIGHTENING TORQUES -- M5 .

Tilt long extension (1) with socket and screw plug in direction of arrow.

Catch and dispose of engine oil with suitable equipment.

Pour in engine oil.

IMPORTANT: To prevent the possibility of overfilling, fill the engine initially with 8 liters  of engine oil.

Park vehicle on a horizontal surface.

Start engine and run at idle until an engine oil temperature ≥ 70° is reached.

Press on-board computer button for longer than 3 seconds.

Determine the oil level again.

Measurement range from minimum to maximum = 1 liter.

  1. Oil level (+0.6 l)
  2. Range for maximum
  3. Range for minimum

The oil fill quantity is 0.6 l above the permissible minimum.

Top-up quantity to be calculated:

1 liter - 0.6 liter (display) = 0.4 liter top-up quantity.

IMPORTANT: A replenishment quantity of less than  0.5 liter is not displayed in the instrument cluster: i.e. interrogating the oil level again produces the value (+0.6 l) again.

Allow engine at normal operating temperature to run at idle for 1 minute.

Carry out distance travelled reset only  with the BMW diagnosis system.

Top up engine oil.

Distance travelled RESET can be carried out with the BMW diagnosis system or with the instrument cluster.

An exact measurement of the engine oil fill quantity can be read out via the BMW diagnosis system in the DME in the test module (Oil condition measurement)  .

Top up engine oil.

Start engine and run at idle (engine oil temperature ≥ 70°).

Run engine at idle speed.

Keep pressing on-board computer button on direction indicator lever until oil level reading can be read off in instrument display.

Press on-board computer button for longer than 3 seconds to reset the display value.

Run engine at idle until the oil level is determined again (engine oil temperature of greater than 70 °C).

The required oil temperature for an engine oil change is thus achieved.>

NOTE: An overfill value of up to 0.5 liter can be displayed in the instrument cluster.
Further overfilling of more than 0.5 liter can be read out via the BMW diagnosis system.
The BMW diagnosis system can display overfilling of up to 3.5 liters.
If overfilling is suspected, we recommend that the oil filling be corrected with the BMW diagnosis system.

Select following steps on BMW diagnosis system:

Switch off engine and detach underbody protection.

Open oil drain plug (1) on oil filter housing.

Tightening torque. See ENGINE - TIGHTENING TORQUES -- M5 .

NOTE: Drain quantity in air cleaner housing approx. 0.4 liter  .
Perform this work step several times if necessary.

Add final details to vehicle.
