*** Another Oil level question.

mp-E46 · 10-12-2014, 05:58 PM

Sorry for another oil thread. Newbie here with e90. The oil level is at the max mark. It's not above the max mark. Am I ok with that level? I think it is.

Thanks

It is like reading any other dipstick, just on a screen instead. You are fine.

At max, you're perfect, above that and you are over filled.

idk if these things show that its overfilled - do they?

I always keep it in the middle. Just did a change this weekend-walmart has castol 0-w40 on sale for $21.15 / 5qt.

Yep, mine was just changed at BMW and it sits right at the Max line. Not over or under! Running great!

The only thing not covered in the attachement is the purposeful obsoleting of the oil condition data when the car reaches 186,000 miles. BMW programs the oil life monitor to stop working at 186,000 miles.
