oil

Low oil level alarm at 9.000 km ! I filled up 1 Liter ane now it‘s ok, but… Is this normal??? I never had to fill up between two services. Neither with two 3.0 l Diesel Audi Quattros (250.000 km) nor with my 5.0 l Mustang (170.000 km)!

Bonsoir à tous, Sur le même principe que les plaques côté droit et en reprenant des idées sur les sites qui proposent des produits compatibles INEOS Grenadier, j'ai réutiliser des supports de bidon de gaz huile donnés pas un ami. J'ai utilisé le même principe de deux fers plats de 4X30 mm...

Summary I spent quite a bit of time researching what oil to use and how to conduct my first oil change on my B58 gas/petrol Grenadier. I thought I'd document and post up my findings, references and hopefully save others time so they can spend more time exploring, four wheeling or time with...

I bought the FCP 7 liter kit for the B58. Today I went to the dealer to have the service engine countdown reset. Vehicle sat on the lot for 4-5 months, we have only had it since July and we have on;y put 2000 miles on the Grenadier. I wasn't going to go another year on the oil and I am a...

Looking for best oil to use in Texas for my Grenadier. Mine has 2500 miles on it and I want to do first oil change. Any recommendations with our hot weather 0w20 seems awful thin?

Looking to change my transfer case gear oil after grinding it while shifting from L to H. Want to flush out any potential metal shavings The fluid spec I found cites two volumes - 1.8L and 2.64L I am just doing a drain & fill. I am not clear what the 2.64L indicates. Is the fluid change...

Hello? Members, I received the car on October 23rd. It has now driven 1700 km. However, oil is leaking from the top of the accelerator. It does not happen always, and this is the second time since the first day. I do not know if there is a rule. The driver's seat position is the same as...

After a few days with the Grenny I noticed an oil leak beginning to form under the right side (passenger side in the US) of the engine bay close to the bumper. Today, at about 300miles, I decided to trace the leak upwards and notice splashes of oil on the top side of the front skid plate. Of...

All three topics have been discussed around the forum but is there really any hope for what I’m calling the “Trifecta of Annoyance” issues that these will be fixed anytime soon? I would prefer not to be clicked to death by nanny state speed warnings, or having to make pointless (hundred of...

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FBVHG3Z?tag=globalgrena0b-20 Is this the correct oil filter for the gas engine?

I searched the forum and the interweb but cannot find the thread size and thread pitch for the B58 oil plug / pan. I am changing my oil at 800 miles and would like to install a magnetic tip oil drain plug. The BMW sellers suggest it might be M12 / 1.5. Can anyone confirm they are the same...

Hi, it looks like there is a vent in the cap on the oil check spot by the battery jump terminal on the right side front of the engine compartment- New (400 miles) gas and we have had it for two weeks. Oil seems to be leaking out there (maybe a few ounces?) Overfilled or normal?

I noticed that there is an opening in the CHF oil reservoir cap, and those green/blue fluid could leak out or are forced out and leave some traces outside. Does anyone know what that opening is for? is it normal to see some trace of power steering fluid outside of the cap?

Before using an engine oil additive, take a look at this video first (it has interesting comments about how the additives can affect your oil's additives): View: https://youtu.be/CAGT5inQScE In short, he is not a fan and he explains why, based on science not speculation (to quote the Geek...

Any plans to offer a remote oil filter location? Any after-market vendors? The plastic oil filter housing screws into a base, what is the base material? Plastic or aluminum metal?

starting a new thread (originally mixed in with the transfer case oil leak thread) so I can document this particular issue and provide updates hopefully my issue will be fixed and this might be helpful to to others I started noticing a slow oil leak about two weeks ago (my car only has about...

Team - I have asked this same question in a couple of the oil threads and no one has been able to answer the questions so posting a dedicated thread. I plan on doing all of my own oil changes and routine maintenance so I would like to know the Service Reset procedure WITHOUT the scan tool...

First off I want to give this forum a big thumbs up for the rapid response to my oil fill question which is an awesome testament to the folks here. We made a video of my experience with the first time oil change in the Grenadier and there were a couple of surprises. If anyone is interested in...

BACKGROUND This post is in two parts. Part 1 lists possible third-party suppliers of oil filters for the INEOS Grenadier B57 Diesel Motor (the oil filter is also used on the B58). Part 2 looks at some third-party oil filter available in Australia. It summarises some basic features with a view...

Autozone has 5qt Mobil1 5w-30 ESP (meets BMW LL04 specs) and STP filter S90186XL bundles for $37.99

How many miles to do the first oil change? The manual says at 12.000…. It seems a little to far for me. Usually, my other cars (land cruiser 200, G wagen) had a break in period and oil change at 1.000 miles. Thanks

I have just under 2000 miles on my US delivery and I just spotted some clear odorless oil on my garage floor. This picture is taken from the front. The four dirt spots are where the tires usually rest and you see the oil spots in the center in relation to the tires. This is where I think it's...

In the Kit is a magnetic oil sump plug, Billet Oil Filter Housing and a reusable stainless steel oil filter. Details here. The OEM oil filter had had a reputation for failing, when used in BMW models. FYI: INEOS Part numbers for the diesel motor here. Other kits just have just the stainless...

Just wanted to see if any members has experience with getting oil change or transmission fluid change from a BMW dealership or BMW shop? I live 5 hours from an INEOS dealership…

Hello all! I have a Trialmaster with less than 1000 miles on it. I've been experiencing a strong oil / diff fluid smell through the cabin vents whenever I come to a stop. The smell becomes somewhat more intense after the vehicle is warmed up and dissipates quickly as soon as I drive off...

I ran the first 200 miles on 0w20 then when to Pennzoil Platinum Euro L (LL04) 5w30 for the next 1000 miles. Drained and went to (LL04 LL01) QuakerState Euro 5w40. Oil temps are well within range and the engine runs way smoother than with 0w20. Anyone else made the switch? I’m going to do a...

Going to do my change tomorrow

The owners manual sucks at having anything specific. Talks about when to change the oil but doesn’t tell you how. I know where the drain plug is and I can see the filter housing under the hood but what’s the filter that goes in the housing?

I'm reading where people are saying you can get products for life. Not sure how they pull it off. But for instance you can do oil changes and all you do is ship back your used oil to get more. Would really change how I view going about things.

***If anyone see's something here I need to be corrected on please let me know! I'm no expert :) **** I've been doing quite a bit of digging and questioning of the B58 guys in BMW forums. I really feel the powerplant's oil recommendations need to be region specific. I'm still going through...

Does anybody have the original motor oil change instructions and part numbers? Anything special to obey?

So I saw this video and about 5 minutes in it shows the off road temperature screen. On my car there are readouts for engine oil, gearbox oil and T case oil. On the video they were missing the engine oil temp. Anyone know why? I’m in intrigued as to why. I’m fairly sure that the petrol loan car...

Hi All As I"m going to be changing my oil soon does the hive mind know the B58 Oil filter housing torque setting ? as I can't get any info out of INEOS. Thanks in anticipation .

I try to check the Oil level today (Petrol Engine) Level 1 (street) OK, Level 2 (Offroad) not possible to display… Another permanent Software issue

Hi All here is an attachment from Ineos re the type and capacity of fluids/oils for the Grenadier intestinally they mention an hydraulic winch they also don't spec the axle oil either.

Will non IA branded parts be acceptable, ie BMW oil filter?

I recommend watching the latest video from LR Time. Christian presents a very thorough and accurate analysis of some Discovery engine problems and their causes. I think it is interesting for everyone who drives a car of this class, as all these engines face the same challenges. For the...
