| Nikasil and oil and temperature | 01 Nov 2005 15:28 GMT | 8 |
I have a 328i, 1995 model with Nikasil block. According to BMW South Africa it is fitted with a different thermostat which causes higher combustion temerature and therefore eliminated the need to worry about sulphuric acid forming and eating away the Nikasil coating.
