"Measuring engine oil level...":
This can take about 3 minutes if the car is at
a standstill on a level surface and the engine
is running, and about 5 minutes while the
car is moving.
If engine oil was added, it may take up to
30 minutes to obtain an oil level reading.

>

"Engine oil level below minimum. Add 1
quart!"
Add engine oil as soon as possible, but no
more than 1 US quart/1 liter, refer also to
Adding engine oil below.
If the oil level is below the minimum value,
add engine oil immediately to avoid engine
damage.

>

"Engine oil level too high! Have this
checked."

Too much oil will harm the engine.
Have the vehicle checked without

delay.

<

>

"Measurement inactive. Have this
checked."
Do not add engine oil. You can continue
your journey. Note the newly calculated dis-
tance remaining to the next oil service, refer
to page

73

. Have the system checked as

soon as possible.

Adding engine oil

Add a maximum of 1 US quart/1 liter of engine
oil no earlier than when a corresponding mes-
sage appears on the Control Display or, if the
car has a diesel engine, when the oil level has
dropped to just above the lower marking on the
dipstick, refer to page

219

.

Add oil within the next 125 miles/200 km;
otherwise, the engine could be dam-

aged.

<

Keep oils, greases, etc. out of the reach of
children and comply with the relevant

warnings on the containers. Otherwise, health
hazards may result.

<

Oil change

Have oil changed only at your BMW center or at
a workshop that works according to BMW
repair procedures with correspondingly trained
personnel.

Oil types

Do not use oil additives as this could
result in engine damage.
