The vehicle’s current service status is auto-
matically saved in the vehicle’s ignition key.
The Service Advisor at your BMW center has
a device called a key reader. When your
Service Advisor inserts your key into the key
reader, all pertinent vehicle and servicing
data will be available, and a customized
maintenance checklist is printed out based
on the specific operations called for by the
Condition Based Service.
The performance of certain subsequent
maintenance elements, as required by the
BMW New Vehicle Limited Warranty, will be
specified at intervals computed by the BMW
Service Interval Indicator as follows:
– Oil Service: Engine oil should be changed
with the engine at operating temperature.
Note: Change oil at least once a year. All 2006 model year 5 Series are factory-
filled with BMW High Performance Synthetic
oils. At the time of the printing of this
booklet, the following oils are strongly
recommended and approved by BMW:
• BMW High Performance 5W-30 Synthetic Oil (BMW part number 07 51 0 017 866)
• Mobil 1 5W-30
• Mobil 1 5W-40
BMW is evaluating various synthetic oils for
inclusion in our list of recommended engine
oils. For the most current list of synthetic
oils, please contact your BMW center, or call
BMW of North America, LLC at 1-800-831-
1117. You can also obtain this information
from our website, www.bmwusa.com/.
BMW recommends that you check your
engine oil level whenever you add fuel to
your vehicle. If you need to add oil between
oil changes and are unable to obtain BMW
High Performance Synthetic Oil, Mobil 1 or
another special oil on the list, use a synthetic
oil with an API rating of SH or higher.
The following maintenance elements must
be performed at the mileage/time stated
(time intervals begin from the vehicle’s
production date):
- Brake Fluid Service: Change brake fluid every two years, or when specified by CBS.
- Oxygen Sensor Service: The oxygen sensor deteriorates strictly on a mileage
basis and must therefore be replaced as
follows to maximize vehicle fuel economy
and minimize exhaust pollution: 120,000
miles
- Spark Plug Service: Replace at 100,000 miles, or when specified by CBS.
