3.0 Technical Guide: BMW M4 Oil Specifications
3.1 Understanding BMW Oil Specifications
BMW’s engine oil specifications are critical for maintaining warranty coverage and ensuring optimal engine performance. The Longlife-01 FE specification used in S55 engines requires oils with specific additive packages to handle high temperatures from twin-turbo systems. The newer Longlife-17 FE+ specification for S58 engines uses ultra-low viscosity 0W-20 oils to improve fuel economy while maintaining protection under extreme conditions.
3.2 S55 vs S58 Engine Oil Requirements
The transition from S55 to S58 engines represents a significant change in lubrication technology:
- S55 Engines (2015-2020): Require 6.9 quarts (6.5L) of 0W-30 or 5W-30 oil meeting BMW Longlife-01 FE specification
- S58 Engines (2021+): Require 7.4 quarts (7.0L) of 0W-20 oil meeting BMW Longlife-17 FE+ specification
- Key Difference: S58 oils use advanced friction modifiers and detergents for improved efficiency and emissions compliance
3.3 Oil Change Procedure Guidelines
Proper oil change procedure for BMW M4 models includes:
- Warm engine to operating temperature (minimum 140°F/60°C)
- Use factory-approved oil filter housing torque specifications (25 Nm + 90° rotation)
- Reset oil service interval via iDrive system (Service → Vehicle Status → Oil Service)
- Verify oil level using electronic dipstick after 5 minutes of idling
