I wasn't worried about it. I was curious to know if the fill requirements had been changed with the camheads. there was probably 20 cc over.
I'm surprised they haven't changed the requirements back to 220cc since adding a breather
Did we decide for sure that pressure on the big seal was the only reason for decreasing the oil level?
...no chance that some kind of foaming or oil slinging would starve any part of the drive?
Just a heads up.. my local friendly BMW dealer now has in stock the actual original spec oil (which was a Castrol XO 75W-90) as "Final drive gear oil" C-SAF-XO) SAE 75W-90 GL5.
BMW PN: 07 51 2 293 972. Retail price was $23.49/liter. For those of us who are somewhat anal about using what BMW spec'd in the service manuals - this IS the stuff, formerly almost unobtainable in the US (there are rumors Land Rover dealers carry it.. but I haven't checked that.)
BTW - Anthony, document your service carefully. BMW has been known to squabble over warranty on bikes where the initial service wasn't done (or it couldn't be proved it was done.)
