2007 BMW M6 sport mode

The performance of certain subsequent mainte-
nance elements, as required by the BMW 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 2007 model year M5 and M6 vehicles are fac-
tory-filled with Castrol TWS Motorsport SAE
10W-60 Synthetic Engine Oil (BMW part number
07 51 0 009 420). This is the only approved
engine oil at the time of printing of this book.
BMW is evaluating various synthetic oils for
inclusion in our list of recommended engine oils.
For the most current list of synthetic oils, please
contact your BMW center, or call BMW of North
America, LLC. at 1 800 831-1117. You can also
obtain this information 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 Syn-
thetic Oil, Mobil 1 or another special oil on the
list, use a synthetic oil with an API rating of SH or
higher.
The following maintenance elements must be
performed at the mileage/time stated (time inter-
vals 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 every 120,000
miles to maximize vehicle fuel economy and
minimize exhaust pollution.
– Spark Plug Service: Replace at 37,000 miles, or
when specified by CBS.
– The engine coolant has a lifetime rating and
does not need to be changed.For your convenience, you may also wish to have
your BMW center perform any necessary opera-
tions to fulfill any state inspection requirements
in your area concurrent with the maintenance
elements specified above during other repairs.
Make sure that confirmation of maintenance
work is always entered in this Service and War-
ranty Information Booklet. You may need this for
any warranty claims that become necessary, and
later on as evidence that your car 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 vehicle, but also to computing of the
optimum maintenance interval for your type of
operations and driving style. Your BMW center
has made a substantial investment in unique
BMW special service tools to enable his BMW
factory trained service technicians to perform
quality repairs on your BMW in minimal time.
He/she looks forward to serving your every ser-
vice need and to help maximize your satisfaction
with your BMW, its longevity, and resale value.
1200 Mile Service
The engine in your BMW M5 and M6 is a race-
bred engine design which includes increased
power output and maximum engine speeds com-
pared to conventional BMW 5 and 6 Series
engines. The increased power output also affects
other major drivetrain components such as the
transmission and the rear axle differential. The
1200 Mile Service requires changing the oil in
the engine, as well as in the transmission and the
differential.
