When carrying out work which involves separating the components of the lubricating oil circuit (hoses, oil cooler, ( oil changes including filter element when engine is warm – but not engine oil changes without filter renewal) note the following instructions. Before adding engine oil, remove the M 6 x 10 mm hex bolt from the oil filter cover and insert a temporary screw BMW part number 11 42 1 335 394 with a sealing ring BMW part number 07 11 9 963 034 in its place.

Important: After this,the temporary screw must be removed and the hex bolt inserted with a new sealing ring, or else the thermostat will not operate. This could lead to serious engine damage (failure to reach normal operating temperature, high oil pressure in cooler during cold starts). During the 10,000 mile (15,000 km) oil change including filter renewal, the oil in the oil cooler must also be changed. This is done by dism:mtling the oil filter can and inserting the temporary screw (to cpen the valve so that the oil drains out). After the oil has drained out, insert a new filter element and assemble the oil filter can with the temporary screw. Note: the oil filter elements are of longer pattern – BMW part number 11 42 l 335 385 – when an oil cooler is installed. Add oil and bleed the oil cooler as described above.
