NOTE: This article contains scheduled maintenance service

information. Fluid types and capacities listed with each
service in this article are only those necessary to perform
that scheduled service. For specifications pertaining to
fluid capacities for the entire vehicle, fuse and circuit
breaker identification, wheel and tire size, battery type,
warranty information, or model identification refer to the
appropriate MAINTENANCE INFORMATION article in this section.
CAUTIONS & WARNINGS
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
WARNING: Contact with live ignition system components while engine

is running could lead to a fatal electric shock.
TOWING EYE
NOTE: When using the removable towing eye, ensure it is fully

tightened.
SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS)
At date specified on label in glove box, entire SRS should be

thoroughly inspected.
WARNING: To avoid injury from accidental air bag deployment, read and
carefully follow all warnings and service precautions. See
appropriate AIR BAG RESTRAINT SYSTEM article in
ACCESSORIES/SAFETY EQUIPMENT section.

CAMSHAFT TIMING BELT REPLACEMENT INFORMATION (IF EQUIPPED)
CAUTION: Failure to replace a faulty camshaft timing belt may result

in serious engine damage.
The condition of camshaft drive belts should always be

checked on vehicles which have more than 50,000 miles. Although some
manufacturers do not recommend belt replacement at a specified
mileage, others require it at 60,000-100,000 miles. A camshaft drive
belt failure may cause extensive damage to internal engine components
on most engines, although some designs do not allow piston-to-valve
contact. These designs are often called "Free Wheeling".
Many manufacturers changed their maintenance and warranty
schedules in the mid-1980’s to reflect timing belt inspection and/or
replacement at 50,000-60,000 miles. Most service interval schedules in
this manual reflect these changes.
Belts or components should be inspected and replaced if any
of the following conditions exist:
* Cracks Or Tears In Belt Surface

* Missing, Damaged, Cracked Or Rounded Teeth
* Oil Contamination
* Damaged Or Faulty Tensioners
* Incorrect Tension Adjustment
Replace camshaft timing belt every second INSPECTION II or

every 4 years.
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
SERVICE INDICATOR
SCHEDULED SERVICES
Article Text (p. 4)
1998 BMW 318i
For 1
An on-board computer determines service intervals based on

the style and amount of driving. The operator is signaled by a series
of LED’s showing the proximity of service needs.
The service indicator consists of 5 Green, 3 Red and one
Yellow Light Emitting Diode (LED) and the inscriptions "OIL SERVICE"
and "INSPECTION". Whenever the ignition is switched on, up to 5 Green
LED’s will light up. The Green LED’s go out when the engine is
started.
If the Yellow LED lights and one of the inscriptions come on
and remain on when the engine is started, maintenance service is due
immediately. When maintenance interval has been exceeded (after
approximately 1000 miles) the Red LED’s will come on in addition to
the Yellow LED as a reminder for servicing.
MAINTENANCE SERVICE SEQUENCE
The maintenance services are done in the following sequence:

ENGINE OIL SERVICE, INSPECTION I, ENGINE OIL SERVICE, INSPECTION II,
etc. An ANNUAL SERVICE is to be performed with, or in addition to, all
other services when due. When INSPECTION II is performed, all services
listed under INSPECTION I must also be performed.
OXYGEN SENSOR SERVICE
Replace O2 sensor at 50,000 mile intervals.
