This Inspection I oil change package for the turbo B58 six-cylinder gasoline cars includes Genuine BMW 0W20 synthetic oil and a Genuine BMW engine oil filter. The 0W20 is the same weight that BMW recommends. This kit includes everything you need for an oil change on the following applications:
- G42 M240i/ix (2022+)
- G01 X3 M40i (2018+)
- G02 X4 M40i (2019+)
Kit Contents:
- 8 Liters of Genuine BMW 0W20 synthetic motor oil (the capacity is approximately 6.5 Liters)
- 1 Genuine BMW oil filter kit
- BimmerWorld Oil Change Sticker
BMW 0W20 is LL01 and FE approved. It's a similar formula to the previous 5W30 but with a lower cold weight and additional additives that make it more efficient. The revised formula reduces drag and friction, making the engine burn less fuel. "FE" stands for Fuel Efficient and this new formula has shown small improvements in fuel economy and reduced emissions. BMW 0W20 also has a low ash content which makes it compatible with the newest types of catalytic converters. This oil is perfect for a daily driver commuter car that does not see much spirited driving, track days, or performance upgrades (for those situations we recommend Red Line Oil. Although LL01 is a LongLife oil spec approved for extended oil changes, BimmerWorld always recommends preventative oil changes in the 5,000-6,500 mile range.
The original BMW oil filter kit includes the filter, cap o-ring, and a drain plug crush seal. We insist on OEM or Original BMW filters for our customers. They are engineered for the correct fit and filtration needs of the B58 six-cylinder turbo engines. An oil filter housing cap tool is recommended.
Note: If you are interested un upgrading to a high-performance oil, we also offer an oil change kit that uses Red Line synthetic oil in the recommended 0W30 or optional 5W30 for hot climates. Please see below for BimmerWorld recommended related items.
If you proactively maintain your car, and take interest in its care and performance, there are several other things to check during a routine oil change (aka Inspection I service):
- top off and inspect other fluids: power steering, other hydraulic fluids, coolant, brake fluid (replace annually)
- empty oil catch can (if added)
- clean or replace engine air filter (replace annually)
- clean or replace cabin air filter (replace annually)
- set all tire pressures, including your spare (if equipped)
- inspect brake pads and rotors
- inspect serpentine belts for cracking
- inspect all hoses, including power steering, for leaks or poor fitment
- inspect intake boots for cracks or leaks
Take this opportunity to inspect the general condition of the engine bay and chassis. Staying ahead of problems, even minor ones, will help avoid major issues in the future. As well as help you get the most enjoyment from BMW ownership.
