Engine oil?

Definitive · 10-24-2014, 02:59 PM

Hey guys this is a picture of the oil I used to use for my e90 M3. Does anyone know if it is the same for the F80?

No one knows, huh?

It will be different. Turbo motors use very different engine weight oils.

"Recommended Oil
Unlike the E9x M3, BMW recommends 0W-30 oil. The times of mandatory 10W-60 oil apparently seem to be over. "

Your dealer service department is correct.

The F8* user manual quotes the following: -

"When selecting an engine oil ensure that the engine oil has a viscosity class SAE 0W-30, otherwise functional disruptions or damage may occur.
Alternatively, engine oils with viscosity classes SAE 5W-30 can be used"
