Was the engine a quart low on oil before you changed it? If it was, the the CBS had not yet updated the new level measurement. The engine if still warm after the oil change will update after 5 minutes of driving, but will update with the last known level read before the oil was changed. It takes at least a 10 minute drive cycle and one that reaches acceleration and yaw parameters before the CBS updates the level.
It's best to add the correct amount of oil in the crankcase and let the CBS settle out over the next few drive cycles before checking the oil level. |

You are over thinking it. It's behaving normally.

I have a 2011 Bmw 335i e90 N55
I went in and did my spark plugs, and decided to change my oil. But before that I replaced my oil filter housing gasket. After I did all of that and set the car on the ground, i noticed I still had a small leak. So I let the car idle for a few minutes to let the oil heat up and run through the engine. Suddenly the oil leak got significantly worse. There one oil all over the front end of my engine. And on my hood and a little puddle of oil building next to the oil filter. I lost about 1 quart or 2 of oil. So after this I realized it was my oil cooler gasket. But now my problem is my car won't start i got a warning to turn off the car due to low oil so I did. Then when I went turn on the car again it didn't start. Just clickes and the dashbroad flickers then stop a second later. Any ideas on my my car won't start? |
