1.0 General Information: Anti-Foaming

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 180 other vehicles, including the 2014 BMW i8, 2014 BMW i3, 2014 BMW Z4, 2014 BMW X6 M, and 2014 BMW X6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The oil is forcefully mixed with air during engine operation. Heavy foaming will lead to impaired lubrication and reduction in oil flow rate. To prevent foaming, anti-foaming additives are mixed with the oil.
