SERVICE INFORMATION

This Service Information Bulletin (Revision 12) replaces SI B11 01 21 dated May 2024. 

What's New  :

INFORMATION

For applicable claim repair-related submissions, the tables below will help you identify which BMW group's engine oil part number is to be used in your workshop after the previous BMW part number stock has been depleted.

Always enter the VIN into AIR to determine the proper engine oil filling capacity. 

Always refer to the applicable repair instructions.

Always loosen the oil filter cap before removing the engine oil drain plug. Reinstalling the engine oil drain plug before removing the oil filter cap can result in overfilling of the engine oil.

Important Note: Overfilling the engine oil will cause an "Engine Oil Overfilled" warning inside the vehicle to display. 

Due to a software error in ETK, the engine oil filling capacities (only) could be inaccurate or missing entirely for some models. This does not affect the other filling capacities in the vehicle; for example, rear axle, transmission, coolant, and brakes are correct.

This bulletin will be updated when the ETK software error is corrected.

CLAIM INFORMATION

For applicable covered repairs (engine/maintenance program), with repair/claim dates on or after August 1, 2017, Warranties will only reimburse the exact quantity of engine oil needed (partial or full) through the one-tenth (1/10) liter billing part number that corresponds to the bulk supply engine oil that must be used (See SI B01 09 15).

For these applicable claim submissions, the one-liter bottle part numbers will no longer be eligible for reimbursement, except for the diesel engines (N47, N57, and M57) and the Motorsport Engines (S54, S65, and S85). 

Please refer to SI B01 09 15 for more information concerning proper invoicing procedure.
