S85 engine with screw plug (up to 03/2007)
Explanation of instrument displays:
- Engine oil level is OK.
- Engine oil level at minimum.
- Engine oil level too high (overfilled ≥ 0.5 liters).
- Engine oil level at maximum.
- Rapid measurement running: engine oil level is being determined.
- A reading cannot be taken at present (engine oil temperature ≥ 70 °C).
Run engine at idle speed.
Keep pressing on-board computer button on direction indicator lever until engine oil level reading can be read off in instrument display.
Press on-board computer button for longer than three seconds.
- Display value is reset
Run engine at idle until engine oil level has been determined again (engine oil temperature ≥ 70 °C).
The required engine oil temperature for an engine oil service is thus achieved.
Measurement range from minimum (3) to maximum (2) = 1 liter.
Release screw plug (1) on oil filter cap (2).
Tightening torque, see "2AZ" under 11 42 OIL FILTER AND PIPES .
Installation:
Replace sealing ring.
Release oil filter cap (2).
Tightening torque, see "1AZ" under 11 42 OIL FILTER AND PIPES .
Installation:
Replace oil filter element and all sealing rings.
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).
Tightening torque, see "1AZ" under 11 13 OIL PAN .
Installation:
Replace sealing ring.
Tilt long extension (1) with socket and screw plug in direction of arrow.
Catch and dispose of drained engine oil in a suitable container.
Pour in engine oil. See "with two oil drain plugs" or "with one oil drain plug" under 11 40 OIL SUPPLY S85 .
Park vehicle on a horizontal surface.
Start engine and run at idle until the engine oil temperature is ≥ 70 °C.
Press on-board computer button for longer than three seconds.
Determine the engine oil level again.
Measurement range from minimum (3) to maximum (2) = 1 liter.
- Engine oil level (+ 0.6 liter)
- Range for maximum
- Range for minimum
The engine oil filling quantity is 0.6 liter above the permissible minimum.
Top-up quantity to be calculated:
1 liter - 0.6 liter (display) = 0.4 liter top-up quantity.
This means that a renewed scan of the engine oil level produces the value + 0.6 liter again.
Allow engine at normal operating temperature to run at idle for one minute.
- Pre-delivery inspection/engine replacement
Carry out distance travelled reset only with the BMW diagnosis system.
- Service - 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.
- Overfilling of engine oil
Start engine and run at idle (engine oil temperature ≥ 70 °C).
Run engine at idle speed.
Keep pressing on-board computer button on direction indicator lever until engine oil level reading can be read off in instrument display.
Press on-board computer button for longer than three seconds.
- Display value is reset
Run engine at idle until engine oil level has been determined again (engine oil temperature ≥ 70 °C).
The required engine oil temperature for an engine oil service is thus achieved.
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:
- Complete vehicle
- Drive
- Engine electronics
- Oil supply
- Oil condition sensor
Switch off engine and detach underbody protection.
Release screw plug (1) on oil filter cap (2).
Tightening torque, see "2AZ" under 11 42 OIL FILTER AND PIPES .
Perform this work step several times if necessary.
Add final details to vehicle.
