Oil quantity

Dark335Xi · 09-08-2011, 03:27 PM

335xi n54 is 6L of oil enough? Cause the indicator shows 3/4 full

? Add another litre?

Turkeybaster115 · 09-08-2011, 03:32 PM

It takes 7 quarts or 6.7 liters.

Just added another litre totaling 7L still on 3/4 full

What's should I do ?reset something?

Drive it for a while, and try again tomorrow. Can't explain why this might work, but you've got nothing to lose. On the other hand, it might be a faulty sensor.

did it usually show full?

I put 7.5 in mine last time and I show full. I put in so much because i went to the track and wanted to make sure i had enough.

No it showed same b4 oil change.. But 2 months ago it was showing full

It could be at 3/4 by design. With real dipsticks, the lesser marker means you are low on oil, and the higher marker means you have too much. You're supposed to be right in the middle. But, this is BMW, and its also an electric dipstick.

Add another half if you want but as long as the oil indicator says "OK" then its good to go.

tibra1 · 09-08-2011, 06:16 PM

7 Quarts or Liters for your oil measure in the car to say "MAX" and "OK".
