I show you how to electronically check the oil in most BMW's
The Magnatec Oil I use and like. Not all Oils can be used in Diesel as well as Gas/Petrol cars. This can: amzn.to/2AY8uBp
This oil also is great with newer BMW's with stop start technology as it clings to parts longer.

I appreciate the clarity of your explanation. I'm always surprised by the number of how-to videos that aren't clear.

According to the manual the two dash lines are the gauge for the oil level, the one to the left is the minimum and the one to the right is the max, going past that dash line on the right means that you are overfilling the engine

@CosminRotaru 11 ай бұрын

Imagine adding one liter over the max, as suggested in the video…

It's better drive for a while and then check the oil or turn on the car and immediately check the level?!

Cool thanks for sharing.trying to help my buddy out but theres no frkn dip stick OR coolant res 🤷‍♂️. Just a reminder as to why i stick with honda or chevy. Still cant figure out how to check the oil level tho 🤣🤣

If you want to inspect the oil there is always some on the filler cap. Especially after it has been running. There will be a coolant Reservior it won’t be clear it will be black with a big hand sized screw top. MRT

Why would BMW not stick with the old tried and true very simple ,foolproof oil dipstick? What happens if the sensor becomes defective? Just guessing but I bet it would cost over $1000.00 to replace that oil sensor if it breaks. Sometimes new tech is just not needed.

@JDHReptiles 6 ай бұрын

Negative. New sensor is about 60.00, and it can be replaced during an oil change in about 30 seconds.

You need a new oil level sensor.

Could someone tell me why my gauge didn’t change when I added half a quart?

@don-cw1yz Жыл бұрын

Sensor not functioning properly? For only $800. a BMW dealer will replace it. Why the heck would BMW eliminate a simple functioning oil dipstick with a complicated sensor system?

@JDHReptiles 6 ай бұрын

Replace the sensor. New sensor is like 60.00, and it can be replaced while doing your oil change in about 60 seconds.

Exactly..a dipstick should always be included even with the fancy lazy gadgets ..our X3 same no stick ..Germans

What if the engine can’t start how do you check oil level? I think this is a very stupid idea where you can only check oil if engine is running

@JDHReptiles 6 ай бұрын

If your engine can't be started, knowing the engine oil level is pointless.
