OEM fluid capacity chart from the factory service manual for the 2016 (2016).
Quick Answer
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
0.69 QTS. (0.65 L) — Hypoid Axle Oil G2 up to 02/2020, Hypoid Axle Oil G5 (Fuchs Titan EG 4399) from 03/2020
Engine Coolant (3.0L Eng)
10.88 QTS. (10.29 L) — Frostox HT-12 antifreeze and corrosion inhibitor Note: Top-up quantity of coolant in the event of repair with disconnected collant hoses. Observe the mixture ration and filling level. (2.11 qts).
Engine Oil (3.0L Eng)
6.90 QTS. (6.52 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.
Engine Coolant (4.4L Eng)
15.74 QTS. (14.89 L) — Frostox HT-12 antifreeze and corrosion inhibitor Note: Top-up quantity of coolant in the event of repair with disconnected collant hoses. Observe the mixture ration and filling level. (2.11 qts).
Engine Oil (4.4L Eng)
10.00 QTS. (9.46 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.
