Coolant fluid change question

Mkai0 · 12-28-2017, 04:16 AM

Does anyone know the coolant change intervals for M5's, and/or does anyone know how to properly do it on this car?

Make sure to use Pentosin or an approved BMW Antifreeze. Prestone has very different composition. I've heard corrosion isn't protected as well

Have you tried adding coolant? Doing a search here; there’s a detailed thread in regards to adding coolant.

Im not trying to be funny, but often guys fill up the inter cooler reservoir thinking its the engine coolant. Make sure both are topped off and see if the light goes out.

Yup. That's why I referred him to the thread that was recently created with both reservoirs discussed.
