You will probably be the first person to do this.

For oil filter, you want p/n 11428583898. Many, but not all BMW parts sites show it already, though I would expect it to be special order pretty much everywhere. It comes with the gasket, but I don't know about the brass washer (which is the same as the one on older engines). Oil is the same as before.

 

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're not interested. But consider:
1) Short oil change intervals generally increase the wear on an engine's parts due to washing away the protection from the zddp that is only now getting bonded to the engine's parts.
2) Speculation is that the factory fill is special; now you're going to lose that specialness.

 

The factory fill in the 335i is the same stuff used for regular changes. I had mine tested.

The M cars probably do use a special fill which is why they have an early change.

 

But no proof of that.

 

Now we're OT for sure. There is good proof for item 1). No-one knows because BMW doesn't tell about 2).

Doesn't really matter, it's the OP's choice. FYI, my opinions on this have changed in the 5 years since I did a 1200 mile change on my 335d.

 

I did a quick search and couldn't find anything specific, so I thought I'd give this a go.

Basically, I've owned several cars from new, and have always changed the oil after the break-in period. Now, I know, some of you guys are probably going to say it's overkill, but for $70-$100 bucks, I'm happy to do it myself to give me peace of mind. I'm pretty sure the M cars require a 1200mi service that includes an oil change. So if you don't agree with an oil change after initial break-in, that's cool, but I'm not really looking for opinions on whether or not to do it; just how to do it.

I used to buy the kits from getbmwparts for my 135i, and changing the oil was super easy. My question is this: I don't see an oil change kit for the B58 on their site yet, does anyone know if there are kits out there with the oil, filter, and o-rings? Should I just bite the bullet and take it to the dealer for an early change?

How about buying the parts from a BMW dealer and getting the oil where ever it is cheapest?

 

Yep, looks like the best way to go for me. Thanks to ynguldyn for the filter PN, and confirming that the oil is the same.

 

Just a FYI for reference, here's the oil for the B58:

Here is the correct/new oil for your 340i w/ B58 engine:

83212365954 $7.67/liter ***8211; in stock

This is BMW TwinPower Turbo LL14FE + 0W-20 for your B58 engine recently released by BMW.

Per BMW's official bulletin, all MY2016 gasoline engines that are in for service under warranty prior to the release of the new oil can use the old 5w-30. However, the product is now released and available. Otherwise, the following MY2016 engines will require the new oil (which is the 0W-20 for the 340i/B58).

So, while you'll be fine using the older 5w-30 for now ***8211; it might not hurt to get started on the new oil that BMW has released for this engine.

I did an oil change on my 2016 328Xi sports wagon. Go to Rock Auto.You can choose from BMW OEM, Mahle, Bosch etc... for $11:00 to $12:00 dollars. The kit has the filter cartdridge, 2 oil rings, and drain plug gasket.

 

Not all M cars require a 1,200 mile inspection and/or oil change.

 

?

 

I sure would do an early change and then always cut the bmw interval in half

 

Thank You

Also troubling is BMW seemingly withholding certification for any other brand's 0W-20. I think Castrol has a 0W-20 Edge Professional that's been certified, but it's not available anywhere.

I doubt that they're withholding it.

AFAIK, Shell's Helix 0W-20 DOES NOT meet BMW specs (If you search on Shell's website only 5W-40 is labelled as LL-01)

If you read deeper into BMW's LL-01/LL-04 specs, you'll discover that the HTHS (shear) and Viscosity limits are such that only a 0W and 5W, along with -30 or -40 will meet their Viscosity Index specification, which is in the industry kinematic viscosity units. AFAIK, -20 is too thin to meet that standard.

I was thinking LL-01 or LL-04 when I wrote the above. LL-14 can't be used in older engines, only N20 and Bx engines.

 

So did the OP finally do his first oil change? Did he need a new oil filter cap wrench? They've hidden the thing under the intake manifold toward the rear. Dealers do have new oil and filters available now.
Any report on this first B58 oil change?

I think if BMW controls the Warranty, they can specify any oil they want.

 

Indeed. Not only do they control the warranty but they also do the oil and filter changes for the first 50k miles. After that if some of us want to run K-Mart brand 40w oil in their BMW they should feel free to do so.
