Suitable Engine Oil Grade
It is recommended that only genuine BMW specication engine oils are used in
your vehicle. Engine oils with the following oil specication can be used to top
up if required:
ACEA A2/B2 or ACEA A2/B3 or ACEA A3/B3 Fully Synthetic engine oil of the
highest possible quality. Viscosity Class SAE 0W-30.
Oil Change
WARNING Engine oil not replaced in time can lead to increased engine
wear and / or engine damage. Do not exceed the service date indicated.
Morgan recommends having the engine oil changed by a certied Morgan
Dealership or specialist workshop.
The engine oil should be changed every 10,000 miles or annually (whichever
comes rst). Run the engine to normal temperature. Switch o the engine and
remove drain plug from the sump.
When the oil has drained completely, clean and replace the plug with a new plug
gasket. Fit a new oil lter and ll with 5.25 litres (1.4 US Gal) of the correct grade
and quantity of oil. Replace the ller cap on the rocker cover and run the engine
for a short while.
Take an oil level reading. The level should be on the 4/4 mark. If the reading is
below the 4/4 mark, top up with appropriate oil (see Suitable Engine Oil Grade).
For every 1/4 mark below 4/4 add 0.25 litre of engine oil.
WARNING Never over-ll an engine with oil.
WARNING Care should be taken when draining engine oil, as it may be very hot.
WARNING Prolonged exposure to used engine oil can cause serious skin
disorders. Avoid excessive contact with skin or use protection.
WARNING The radiator fan may operate even when the ignition is switched
o. Take care not to work near the fan until the engine has cooled suciently.
Oil Filter
Your vehicle uses a replaceable oil lter element located in the middle of the
left-hand side of the engine which should always be replaced when the engine
oil is changed.
To remove the lter, unscrew the lter cover anti clockwise and carefully
withdraw from the vehicle taking care to catch any dripping oil. Install the new
lter into the housing on the side of the engine noting its correct orientation.
Remove the old seal from the lter cover and clean o any old engine oil,
t a new seal and lightly lubricate with clean engine oil. Screw the cover on
clockwise until fully seated taking care not to over tighten.
