For X5 models prior to 2015, BMW recommends using BMW Original Coolant (BMW Part Number 82141467708) or a high-quality ethylene glycol-based coolant specifically designed for BMW vehicles. This type of coolant is also known as BMW Blue Coolant.
For X5 models from 2015 onwards, BMW recommends using BMW Longlife Coolant (BMW Part Number 83192409835). This type of coolant is also based on ethylene glycol and provides a longer service life compared to the previous blue coolant.
It's important to use the correct type of coolant as specified in your X5's owner's manual. Mixing different types of coolants or using incompatible coolants can lead to problems such as corrosion, reduced cooling efficiency, or even damage to the engine cooling system.
When changing the coolant, it is also recommended to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for the coolant replacement procedure, such as draining the old coolant, flushing the system if needed, and using the appropriate dilution ratio with water (if applicable).
To ensure the proper functioning of your BMW X5's cooling system and avoid any potential issues, it is always best to consult your owner's manual or refer to a trusted automotive mechanic or BMW dealership for specific coolant recommendations and guidance.
