2006 BMW X3 fuel type

Quality Certification I will be performed by your
authorized BMW SAV center and certified on the
following page.
The performance of certain subsequent mainte-
nance elements, as required by the BMW New
SAV Limited Warranty, will be specified at inter-
vals computed by the BMW Service Interval Indi-
cator as follows:
– Oil Service: Engine oil should be changed with the engine at operating temperature.
Note: Change oil at least once a year.
All 2006 BMW X3s are factory-filled with BMW
High Performance Synthetic oils. At the time of
the printing of this booklet, the following oils
are strongly recommended and approved by
BMW:
• BMW High Performance 5W-30 Synthetic Oil
(BMW part number 07 51 0 017 866)
• Mobil 1 5W-30
• Mobil 1 5W-40
BMW is evaluating various synthetic oils for
inclusion in our list of recommended motor oils.
For the most current list of synthetic oils,
please contact your authorized BMW SAV cen-
ter, or call BMW of North America, LLC. at 1
800 831-1117. You can also obtain this infor-
mation from our website, www.bmwusa.com.
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
are unable to obtain BMW High Performance
Synthetic Oil, Mobil 1 or another special oil on
the list, use a synthetic oil with an API rating of
SJ or higher.
– Inspection I: Major vehicle maintenance as specified in the following pages under Inspec-
tion I.
– Inspection II: Additional major vehicle mainte- nance as specified in the following pages under
Inspection II.
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.
– Oxygen Sensor Service: The oxygen sensor deteriorates strictly on a mileage basis and
must therefore be replaced every 100,000
miles to maximize vehicle fuel economy and
minimize exhaust pollution. The replacement of
the oxygen sensor is required under the terms
of the applicable BMW emission system war-
ranties.
– Spark Plug Service: The X3 is equipped with platinum-tipped spark plugs. These allow a
longer service life than conventional plugs.
Replace spark plugs every 100,000 miles.
– Automatic Transmission Service: Change ATF every 100,000 miles.
The engine coolant has a lifetime rating and does
not need to be changed.
Please see your authorized BMW SAV center for
the most current information.
For your convenience, you may also wish to have
your authorized BMW SAV center perform any
necessary operations to fulfill any state inspec-
tion requirements in your area concurrent with
the maintenance elements specified above dur-
ing other repairs.
Make sure that confirmation of maintenance
work is always entered in this SAV Service and
Warranty Information Booklet. You may need this
for any warranty claims that become necessary,
and later on as evidence that your SAV has been
given the correct and regular maintenance that
justifies its resale or trade-in value.
BMW has applied the most modern technologi-
cal advances not only to the design and produc-
tion of your SAV, but also to computing of the
optimum maintenance interval for your type of
operations and driving style. Your authorized
BMW SAV center has made a substantial invest-
ment in unique BMW special service tools to
enable his BMW factory trained service techni-
cians to perform quality repairs on your BMW in
minimal time. He/she looks forward to serving
your every service need and to help maximize
your satisfaction with your BMW, its longevity,
and resale value.

Services
From the information you provide, the BMW
Roadside Assistance service representative will
determine the type of help required.
Dispatch Service
A service provider will be dispatched to the site
of your disabled vehicle.
On-Site Assistance
On-site service for vehicle disablements such as
flat tires, dead batteries, and out of fuel condi-
tions is provided up to a maximum of $100.00
per incident by BMW Roadside Assistance.
The cost for parts and fuel, when used on-site,
are the responsibility of the owner/driver. The
New SAV Limited Warranty does not cover any of
the above on-site services.
Lock-Out
Your BMW is equipped with an advanced entry
system, which cannot be bypassed by traditional
locksmith methods without significant damage to
your vehicle. BMW encourages you to always
carry your spare wallet key separately from your
other keys. However, in the event that you find
yourself locked out, a simple telephone call to
Roadside Assistance will help you get back on
the road. A representative will help you find
transportation or arrange towing service to the
nearest BMW center. Related towing costs will be
compensated up to $100 per incident. You, or
the person driving your vehicle, are responsible
for any expenses related to replacement keys.
Towing Service
In the event of a mechanical breakdown normally
covered under the New SAV Limited Warranty,
your SAV will be transported (at no cost) to the
nearest authorized BMW SAV center. Your SAV is
also covered in the event of an accident or colli-
sion. If a breakdown occurs after normal business
hours, your SAV will be transported to a secure
location and transported to the nearest autho-
rized BMW SAV center on the next business day.
If you request that the SAV be taken to a location
other than the nearest authorized BMW SAV cen-
ter, any additional expense will be your responsi-
bility.
However, you may request (at no cost) to be
taken to a different BMW SAV center as long as it
is within 50 additional miles of the “nearest”
BMW SAV center.
Towing requests for SAV disabled because of
casualty, fire, act of God, or violation of law (fed-
eral, state or local) are provided at the expense of
the owner/driver.
If it is necessary for you to have your SAV towed
through your own arrangements,
you must con-
tact BMW Roadside Assistance for prior
authorization and instructions on claim pro-
cedures. All claims must be submitted within
sixty (60) days of the disablement or occurrence,
accompanied by the original receipts. Claims
received after that time period may not be hon-
ored and are subject to the full discretion of
BMW Roadside Assistance. If BMW Roadside
Assistance is not contacted for
prior
authoriza-
tion, the maximum coverage for towing is
$100.00.
Sign-and-Drive
Typically, if you are within the terms of your war-
ranty, the services you receive under the BMW
Roadside Assistance program will not require
payment. In most cases, you will simply sign a
receipt from the provider of services.
