Bmw 118D mods/problems

hi, got f20 118d m sport 2013 whats the specific oil grade and recommendation to use I no on my old car audi was 507.00 whats this car can anyone shed some light

 

go onto opie oil web site, or phone they are very helpfull

 

Thought the diesels used SAE 5W-30 or 0W-30 (ACEA: C3) BMW LL-04 or equivalent

 

Welcome aboard, fella.

Nothing in the Owner's Handbook? ;)

 

It doesn't mention oil grades in mine (booklet) but it's available via the i-Drive

 

The hand book for my E60 520D with the N47 engine which will be the same engine that is fitted to to the 118D listed about four different grades that were all suitable for use but didn't give one particular grade to use

 

Thank you guys, or is it worth going to bmw and have ir changed there ?

 

has the car got a full BMW dealer history or has it been serviced outside of the dealer network, if it has a full dealer history and you want to keep it up then shop around the dealers and see what they will offer you price wise

a quick look at one of the dealers that i use an oil service is £128.00 and an oil service and micro filters is £209

if the car has been serviced outside the dealer network then ask around and see if you have a good indy in your area that you could get the car serviced and save a few pounds

 

It was serviced at BMW but then the garage where I bought it serviced it, all discs pads oil change oil filter, but I rather service it again with the 100% oil that should be there or should I wait 8k miles then take it to bmw ? The company I bought the car from is big motoring world, taking my car to bmw tomorrow morning for shock or susspension check as front right side is knocking when going over bumps, they said they will check everything what it need like servicing etc I think I will tell them fo change diesel filter as I dont see that in history car is on 77k miles small service they quoted me £220 oil change oil filter microfilter then large is same as small just air filter+ fuel filter is it worth getting performance air filter like KN ?

 

it would be interesting to know what oil the selling dealer used when they serviced it, if it was me i would want to make sure it has the correct oil and he best way to do that is change it yourself or get a dealer to do it for you, also did the selling dealer do the micro filters

as for mods to a car i would not be able to answer that question, i always keep my cars stock and have never done any form of modification or remapping to any of my cars

 

Yep that whats is drilling in my head what oil they used etc I will have the large service tomorrow then oil+ oil filter , air filter, microfilter is that the cabin filter ? And fuel filter then I will have peace of mind thats true

 

yes it is the pollen filter/cabin filters

Yeah I will have full service, tomorrow then just to be safe

 

Yeah that what they said they will check whats needed, my idrive says all is fine oil all had brand new discs changed, but my point was which oil they used the company I bought the car at that why im thinking to service it just in case

 

No problem. ;)

 

Hows the BMW system ? On my audi it was like this it needed service it did show it on dash once oil changed, the light be still on etc until computer reseted is it same story with BMW ? Or can the car tell it has fresh oil?
