New M4/M3 first oil service... 1,200 miles or 2K kms...
Since a lot of BIMMERPOST members are starting to take delivery of the new M4/M3 ... I thought I would put this PSA out for you.
Basically, the first (1200 miles) service is just like on the previous generation M3. The only thing new is that
now BMW says you MUST replace the oil pan plug/screw and differential screw/plug with new ones! The crush o-ring is now built into the screw.
F8x S55 engine...
Oil filter: 11 42 7 854 445
Screw for engine oil pan/plug: 11 13 7 535 106[/B] and gasket ring which is [/B] 07 11 9 963 132[/B]
Screw for differential (2): 33 11 7 525 064
Oil engine quantity (6,5l) of
6.9 quarts.
BMW LL4 engine oil:
83 21 0 398 504 (0w-40)
or
83 21 0 398 507 (5w-30)
Oil for differential/LSD (1l quantity):
83 22 9 405 462
NOTE: BMW says changing the transmission oil is not necessary.
But if it were my car, and I was keeping the car for a long time - I know I would change it.
The correct manual transmission fluid for the F8x car is
83 22 9 405 462 , you will need less than 2l. to change it (1.2l I believe).
NOTE2:
The latest differential oil for the M4/M3's seems to now be:
