**UPDATE** I again checked TIS this morning and the correct torque value for the oil filter cap is 40 Nm. I also found a TSB (SI2010-000110626) entitled "Increased tightening torque for oil filter head cover S65." It states: Situation: Increased torque for oil filter head cover. Affected vehicles: All M-vehicles with S65 engine Measure: The tightening torque has been increased from 25 Nm to 40 Nm. This measure aplies retrospectively to all vehicles with S65 engine. The torque of 25 Nm specified on the oil filter head cover should be ignored. Procedure: Observe the changed tightening torque in the repair literature in ISTA.

I changed the oil for the first time this past weekend using this guide. I added 8 liters of oil, started the car and got a +1 warning. Added another 1/2 liter and that put me at the 3/4 full mark on the meter. Couldn't have been any easier.

Just did mine yesterday, this guide is very useful.
Put the car on ramps up front, then raised the rear on 2 floor jacks to make it level. I managed to remove all the remaining oil in the filter housing by soaking it up with 4-5 paper towels. Easy as pi. I torqued the oil filter housing cap to 25Nm, that's precisely what it seemed to have been torqued before. I wonder if all BMW centers go by the new measurement of 40Nm, or if they apply it selectively to new cars? Anyway, I added 8.5L and level shows OK in several subsequent measurements.

Over filled
Had the Swiss dealer change it. Picked up the car in a snowstorm (1 inch) never got out of first gear 15 minute drive took 2 hours (who say the Swiss can drive in snow?). Got bored driving home, checked the onboard system and it said that the oil level was too high. No warning had come up.
This morning back to the dealer who gave me a line about US Spec cars having a smaller sump. They removed some oil, scratched a rim (which they pointed out to me and will repair in the spring). Next time, I will do it myself. |

You'd need to reset it manually. This video shows how:
Not sure if there's a way to get the oil change interval lowered.

Need help everyone!
I finally lifted up the car to do my 7.5k mi oil change and noticed that the dealership actually overtightened the nuts causing it to strip (not the threads, but where you put the allen key). 1) Any ideas on an easy way to remove the screw? 2) And where can I get a replacement one? 3) Or I saw someone post that they used a new screw that uses a socket wrench to tighten. Does anyone know what size the threads are and the length to get as well? TIA!

Filled with 8.8 ltr and the car is showing between min=max. I am sure there is room for another 200 ml. I am going to pour that in shortly and I don't think that's an overfill. It should show max, and even if it's an overfill it shouldn't hurt. P.S. See the image after topping up 200ml - making it 9 ltr in all. Doesn't even max out. Unless there is a problem with the sensor. Hope that's not the case.

I've been looking at Liqui Moly Synthoil Race Tech GT1 10W-60 as an alternate to Castrol TWS 10w-60 for my next oil change. When looking at the filling capacity (see attached pic), 8.8 litres plus 0.4 litres if you are changing the filter.
Then no wonder we get the add 1 ltre warning soon after an oil change when we have filled only 8.8 with the filter. You will see in my previous post that I filled with 9 litres and it was still way below the max. So it won't hurt to fill with 9.2 litres when changing oil with the filter.

If that's the case how come when I filled with 9 litres it's still under the MAX level? This was after syphoning out some oil from the filter
