New car break-in engine oil

And differential oil TC oil

Do you really have to do it?! If you're wondering

Car manufacturers say

it’s not necessary.

However, through numerous sources of information,

you can check for metal shavings and oil contamination that often appear early on after the car is delivered

Many people choose to do this at their own expense.

The new car break-in oil is

not mandatory but optional!

Only those who want it can come!

Typically, BMW owners

ask when they should do the break-in, and many do it

between 1,000 to 3,000 kilometers.

Those who manage their vehicles a bit more carefully may change the engine oil again after just over 10,000 kilometers

or visit the center for BSI.

For the BMW X7 40i work,

I recommend the following components.

When you consult or visit, I will explain everything.

Engine oil / Since this is the first change,

I ensure you don't worry during the BSI visit by using

a genuine oil filter along with Shell Ultra 0W-40

( viscosity can be chosen from 0W-20 to 0W-40 )

Differential oil / Using Motorex 75W-90,

I use high-performance gear oil for long-lasting use.

TC oil / I recommend Laveno DTF1 that meets the original specifications.

This is what I recommend.

Let's get started!

Using a two-post lift,

I lift the wheels and set the air suspension lock function.

Always remember to set the jack mode!
