That's what I've been using ever since I've owned my car.
Without a discount at the local stealership, the BMW oil is 7.15 after taxes.
Edit: At my stealership.
I thought the 30 second light at shutdown meant the oil was low, and when it comes on while driving it means it's really low.
If BMW has its name on it, it's probably just fine to use.
For the record, I use it. I had my oil change done at a shop when I first got the car, and the guy knew that the PO had used something...
Ah okay. Well, I reckon I could give it a shot.
I don't want that plastic bag getting sucked under the cover... That would be bad news.
Hmm easy enough. I trust you do the plastic bag over the oil filler with the cap on, right? Otherwise, the car wouldn't run very well at all with the cap off.
Ah-ha! I didn't think of that. The VANOS was just done and I they didn't remark about any leaks there. I hate to ask without searching first, but is there a good way to identify a failing CCV? I do...
My bad. I didn't check my email before posting. I was thinking about a suction pump you stick in the dipstick. I heard good things about those.
I contemplated getting one. I hear it works really well.
Eh - we'll see what happens! My guess is OFHG or a faulty sensor.
Well that or I'm having a bad leak somewhere else. I filled it up before I left Raleigh and was worried maybe I poured it in the wrong spot. Orange light came on after a good 300-350 miles (possibly...
This is a pretty stupid question, but I just gotta make sure:
When filling oil, I noticed that there is a hole with a divider in the middle right under the oil cap. Then to the side, it looks like...
Gotchya. That's what I figured. You would want to check the oil with the engine at NOT since that would accurately reflect how much oil is in your car while it is operating.
When I got my oil changed, I checked it the next day after letting it sit overnight. It was just touching first measure mark. After I warm the car up, the level is right where it should be. I use BMW...
