What it covers

A service bulletin tells BMW technicians how to diagnose or fix a known issue. It is not a recall: a repair under a bulletin is normally paid by the owner unless the car is still under warranty or a warranty extension applies.

SERVICE ACTION: N63R ENGINE - REPLACE ENGINE OIL AND FILTER. Premature engine wear may occur if an interim engine oil service is not performed before the first engine oil service is recommended or due.
