check engine light BMW X5 2008 E70 Service and warranty information

For the most current list of synthetic oils, please
contact your SAV 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 per-
formed 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 every
120,000 miles to maximize vehicle fuel econ-
omy and minimize exhaust pollution.
 Spark Plug Service: Replace at
100,000 miles.
 The engine coolant has a lifetime rating and
does not need to be changed except for sys-
tem repairs.
For your convenience, you may also wish to
have your BMW SAV center perform any neces-
sary operations to fulfill any state inspection
requirements in your area concurrent with the
maintenance elements specified above during
other repairs. Should you request more fre-
quent maintenance service, the cost of these
services will not be covered by the Mainte-
nance Program.
BMW has applied the most modern technologi-
cal advances not only to the design and produc-
tion of your vehicle, but also to computing of the
optimum maintenance interval for your type of
operations and driving style. Your BMW SAV
center has made a substantial investment in
unique BMW special service tools to enable
BMW factory trained service technicians to per-
form quality repairs on your BMW in minimal
time. Your service technician looks forward to
serving your every service need and to help
maximize your satisfaction with your BMW, its
longevity, and resale value.
