Special Note - BMW X5 2009 Service And Warranty Information

Special Note

The maintenance requirements for your vehicle
are determined dynamically by the Condition
Based Service (CBS) system. The maintenance
items stated herein reflect the latest information
available at the time of the printing of this
statement, and are subject to change. The most
current maintenance recommendations are
available from your authorized BMW SAV center.
The performance of certain subsequent
maintenance elements, as required by the SAV
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 2009 model year X5 and X6 vehicles are
factory-filled with BMW High Performance
Synthetic oils. We recommend BMW High
Performance 5W-30 Synthetic Oil (BMW part
number 07 51 0 017 866) for regular scheduled
engine oil changes.
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
BMW High Performance Synthetic Oil is
unavailable, you may top up the oil level with one
of the following approved synthetic oils. For
information on checking your engine oil level
refer to your vehicle's Owner's Manual.
The synthetic oils listed below meet BMW's
Long-life rating LL-01:
Castrol Syntec European Formula SAE 0W-30
Mobil 1 SAE 0W-40
Pennzoil Platinum European Formula Ultra
SAE 5W-30
Valvoline SynPower SAE 5W-30
The choice of the right SAE grade is based on
the climatic conditions in the region in which you
normally drive your BMW. To best determine
which SAE grade is best suited for your vehicle,
contact an authorized BMW center.
If you are unable to obtain BMW High
Performance Synthetic Oil or an approved
synthetic oil from the list above, use only a
synthetic oil with an API rating of SM 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 at the following
intervals to maximize vehicle fuel economy and
minimize exhaust pollution. Replace at
120,000 miles (replace every 150,000 miles
for the X5, if it is eligible for the California
Emissions Warranty).
Spark Plug Service (not shown in CBS).
Replace at the following intervals:
– X5: 100,000 miles
– X6: 45,000 miles or at every 3rd Engine Oil
Service
The engine coolant has a long-term rating and
does not need to be changed except for
system repairs.
For your convenience, you may also wish to have
your BMW SAV center perform any necessary
operations to fulfill any state inspection
requirements in your area concurrent with the
maintenance elements specified above during
other repairs. Should you request more
frequent maintenance service, the cost of
these services will not be covered by the
Maintenance Program.
BMW has applied the most modern
technological advances not only to the design
and production 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 perform 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.
