Edit: Damn it didn't see this is an old thread. Maybe that guy finally got his X5M or X6M shipped to the Welt? |

Confusion came from the fact that the most of (not sure whether it was all) M cars have used 10W-60 before. When the part guy on the counter first heard just "M" even though I said X6M, he told me to go with 10W-60 without checking anything. Then 3-4 months later, I went in again for some more but this time I happened to talk to a service guy I always go with. He said that 5W-30 is the correct one. So, I had to ask him to double-check it and he showed me his computer screen. 10W-60 is for the high revving non-turbo M cars. A service guy just gave me 3 bottles of 5W-30 without any charge so I don't have to come back for a while.

5w-30 works great. Same thing for my N54 (135). So, since BMW is extending the M label, it appears that only the high revving engines (E46 & E9x M30 use the 10-60 (what my M3 uses). ANywhere we can get the 0-40? ( I live in Vegas, oil temps get high easily around here, esp on track days).

Hello,
I decided to do some DIY maintenance after my first year of enjoying my M. Just changed the oil/filter and the air filter on my M at 7,500 and here are the DIY highlights. Fist I used BMW -866 oil from http://parts.bmwofalexandria.com/pro...52d866%29.html for $6.44/Qt. The M needs to be jacked up and or on ramps for changing the oil, as both plug and filter are located underneath. The oil pan drain plug is located in the center of the oil pan, and requires an 8mm Hex wrench or socket for removing. I was not able to suck out the oil with my vacuum extractor, as there is no dipstick or way I found to do this. Anyway, the oil filter is located under the SAV also. The oil was black as crude, and maybe I will send it out for analysis. Removing of the oil filter was quite a bit more messy, as there is no damn oil plug in the oil cap, like on the 7 series. Removing of the oil filter cap requires an BMW cap socket. When you remove it do it slowly, or you will make a map of Italy on your garage floor. Even with care I still spilled some, and I will look to see if I can purchase a cap with the plug for draining. The oil filter kit contains the replacement seal for the oil cap drain plug, pan plug crush washer, and cap O-ring. Putting the new oil filter+cap was fairly easy. I then lowered the SAV and added 8 quarts of the -866 ran the engine for 10 minutes and checked the oil level with Idrive. Damn it is a PITA not having a dipstick. Level was at Max so all good. However, in two days driving, checked oil level again and it was 1 quart down, so I topped it off. Now for the air filters. There is a great thread on changing the air filter http://www.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=499319. Thanks Bleudyno. There is a left and a right filter, so change them both. Mine were very dirty after 1 year and 7,500 miles. They are quite small, with respect to surface area, this fire-breather of an engine has less surface area on its air filter than my FX45. All is working fine. Enjoy |

Crazy topic. I'm going to the dealership to have them fill up the oil, from everything ive read the 5w-30 is the right choice. Oddly enough, my x5m came with an extra bottle in the trunk, and it was the 10w-60. still confused...

This thread scares the shit out of me. So many of you with wrong oil in your cars. If you have 10-60 in your X5/6M/s63 engine get it OUT now. Its too thick. The dealer doesnt know what the hell they are doing if they are putting the wrong oil in your car. Here is what the dealer doesnt show you and what they should be checking. This is from the ISID. The s63 requires 5-30 end of story.
