dont put engine oil into a transmission you will destroy it ---automatic transmissions use a fluid --transmission fluid ---manual transmission use a different lube --- consult with your manual or dealer for what to use to fill it ...
Yes, it could damaged your engine,drain and replace filter with what kind was on before,always use synthetic oil,I take my Toyota tundra to dealer to get oil change,and they scan the whole system for free and give me a print out of the results,if something is wrong,they will tell me and how much or I can fix my self.That's the best place to get oil change,hidden benefits.They told me once my license plate bulb was burnt out,they replaced for a dollar.
First, you did read your owners manual right? The manual lists the BMW approved oils for your bike. It is also important to use the correct quantity of oil in the engine, this is listed in the manual too.
I use Castrol Syntec 20-50 for the engine and synthetic gear oil (90 weight) for the trans and final drive.
Most probably it is synthetic oil ad unless you own the tool to open the computer you will need a BMW tech to reset the light or at least a certified BMW mechanic.
10/40 full synthetic. I personally use Valvoline, but feel that most major brands are providing a good product (Castrol/Quaker). I also use a bottle of Lucas oil treatment with every oil change. Don't forget your filter.
