1.0 General Information: Anti-Foaming

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 104 other vehicles, including the 2010 BMW Z4, 2010 BMW X6 M, 2010 BMW X6, 2010 BMW X5 M, and 2010 BMW X5. 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, antifoaming additives are mixed with the oil.
