1.0 General Information: Anti-Foaming

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 250 other vehicles, including the 2006 BMW Z4, 2006 BMW X5, 2006 BMW X3, 2006 BMW M6, and 2006 BMW M5. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The oil is forcefully mixed with air during engine operation. Heavy foaming will lead to impaired lubrication and reduction in oil flow rate. To prevent foaming, antifoaming additives are mixed with the oil.
