Quick Answer
Air Cond Compressor Oil
Note: See Underhood Decal.
Automatic Transmission Fluid
8.98 QTS. (8.49 L) — Automatic Transmission Fluid ATF+3
Brake Fluid
— BMW brake fluid DOT 4 with low viscosity
Differential Gear Oil
— Hypoid Axle Oil G3 (Fuchs Titan EG 4218) Only for Rear differential, not for hang-on clutch (HOC) Note: BMW Part No. 83 22 2 365 988.
Engine Coolant
10.00 QTS. (9.46 L) — Frostox HT-12 antifreeze and corrosion inhibitor
Engine Oil
9.50 QTS. (8.99 L) — BMW Gasoline Engines. Oil viscosity of 0W-30, LL-01 FE Note: As of 7/2015 production, gasoline and diesel engine equipped vehicles have a new engine oil viscosity label (located on underside of engine compartment lid). These engines require a zero weight viscosity engine oil. Approximate capacity.
