Adding engine oil
Do not add m ore oil until the level has
dropped almost as far as the lower
dipstick mark.
BMW engines are designed not
to need separate additives in the
engine oil, and indeed adding these
substances could even be harmful in
certain circumstances. This applies to
manual-shift gearbox or automatic
transmission, final drive and power
steering.

Recommendation: have oil changes
carried out by BMW Service.
