10W-60 Not to be Used in the S63TU Engine
G’day
That Oil specification will cause harm to your engine and as a result all sorts of problems down the track. It was specified for the previous M5 E60 S85 (V10) engine BUT not ours.
The S63TU requires (from the owners manual) :
When selecting an engine oil, ensure that the engine oil belongs to the viscosity grade SAE 0W-40, or malfunctions or engine damage may occur.
As an alternative, you can also use motor oils with a viscosity grade of SAE 0W-30.◀
The engine oil quality is critical for the life of the engine.
Suitable engine oil types
You can add engine oils that meet the following oil rating standards:
Oil rating
BMW Longlife-01.
BMW Longlife-01 FE.
Cheers
