This Inspection I oil change package for the F87 M2, F80 M3, and F82 M4 includes high performance Red Line 5W30 synthetic oil and an OEM Mann oil filter. This kit includes everything you need for an oil change on the N55T0 in the M2 and the S55 engine in the M3/M4.
- 7 quarts of Red Line 5W30 synthetic motor oil
- 1 OEM Mann oil filter kit
Red Line oil outperforms the factory oil when it comes to strength under stress. Factory-type oils are engineered for efficiency and include additives to enhance lubrication, reduce emissions, and improve fuel economy. But in the high performance turbo world we live in, these oils break down faster, leaving your engine unprotected. Red Line oil has higher levels of ZDDP (zinc and phosphorous) that do a better job of lubricating, protecting, and sealing in the hotter environments our turbo engines are capable of making while still exceeding BMW LL-01 standards. Red Line oil includes the appropriate levels of anti-wear additives and low ash content to ensure compatibility with factory emissions equipment. With BMW replacing its 5W30 oils with 0W20 and 0W30, the need for a high performance motor oil is greater than ever.
The Mann oil filter kit includes the filter, two cap o-rings, and a drain plug crush seal. We insist on OEM or Original BMW filters for our customers. Mann is an OE supplier to BMW for this and other filters found in your BMW. As an original supplier, Mann's filter products meet or exceed the requirements from BMW. They are engineered for the correct fit and filtration needs of the N55T0 and S55 six-cylinder turbo engines. A oil filter housing cap tool is recommended.
2014 M3/M4 note: BMW used a different drain plug on the 2014 model with a non-removable seal washer. BMW recommends you buy a new drain plug for each oil change. You can add one from the link below. The filters are the same but you won't use the seal washer included with the filter. The 2015 models used a different oil pan with a more conventional drain plug and will use the seal washer included with the filter.
If you proactively maintain your car, and take interest in its care and performance, there are several other things to check during a routine oil change (aka Inspection I service):
