CAUTION!
Multi-viscosity engine oils should not be
used in the manual transmission. Use of
such an oil could shorten the service life
of the transmission.
Brake fluid
Brake fluid absorbs moisture easily, and
moisture in the fluid affects brake
performance and reliability. This is why
brake fluid should be flushed from the
system every two years. When replacing or
adding brake fluid, use only new fluid from
previously unopened containers. Do not
use brake fluid that has been bled from the
system, even if it is brand new. Use only
DOT 4 brake fluid.
Note:
See
340 Brakes
for more brake fluid
information.
Engine coolant (anti-freeze)
BMW recommends coolant that is a 50/50
mixture of distilled water and
phosphate/nitrate free anti-freeze
containing ethylene glycol. Anti-freeze
raises the boiling point and lowers the
freezing point of the coolant. It also
contains additives that help prevent cooling
system corrosion.
Differential gear oil
BMW recommends using only a specially
formulated synthetic gear oil (SAF-XO) that
is available through an authorized BMW
dealer parts department. For additional
information on this lubricant and any other
lubricants that may be compatible, contact
an authorized BMW dealer service
department.
Power steering fluid
The power steering fluid is Dexron III® ATF,
or equivalent. The system is permanently
filled and does not have a drain. Routinely
adding ATF is not required unless the
system is leaking.
Transmission fluid, automatic
The automatic transmissions installed in
the E46 models are filled with special
automatic transmission fluids, depending
on transmission type and model year.
Note:
The transmission lubricant type can be
found on the "type-plate" on the side of
the transmission. See
240
Automatic Transmission
.
Consult an authorized BMW dealer for
alternate fluid use and the most-up-
to-date information regarding
transmission operating fluids.
Transmission fluid, manual
The manual transmissions installed in the
E46 models are normally filled with a
special lifetime fluid (MTF-LT-1). Consult
230 Manual Transmission
for further
information.
