11 00... Service - engine oil (S85): Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 BMW M6, 2009 BMW M6, and 2008 BMW M6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
IMPORTANT:
Perform engine oil service only when engine is at normal operating temperature (>70 °C engine oil temperature).
An exact engine oil level reading can only be obtained from an engine oil temperature ≥ 70 °.
Engine oil temperature can be read off in the instrument cluster.
Observe the exact engine oil filling capacity.
Overfilling the engine with engine oil will result in engine damage.
Inspection and drain-off times must be observed.

NOTE:
The S85 engine is equipped with an engine oil sump with separate oil chambers. During an engine oil service, the oil is drained solely from the main oil sump (rear oil chamber). The engine oil from the front oil chamber is pumped permanently into the main oil sump by a separate oil pump. For this purpose, the engine must be run at idle for at least one minute immediately prior to an engine oil service.
IMPORTANT:
When working on the engine oil, coolant or fuel circuit, you must always protect the alternator against contamination.
Risk of damage!
The alternator must therefore be covered with suitable apparatus.
