Oil Light ...
So apparently I've burned through a quart of oil in my 6,600 miles I've logged.
Question -- Sterling is right around the corner. Anyone know if they will do a free top off of my oil, or will I have to pony up $$$? Also, what is the recommended oil for e90's? Was thinking it would be something like Mobile 1 0w40 ... although I'm not sure where to source the quarts around here. |

Sam,
Apparently the full maintenance program does not cover oil top ups...but my dealership did it anyways albeit with repetead reminders of their generous gesture. I always though the program would cover the top up.... Why don't you check with your SA?

I get all my fluids top off at Fairfax BMW to include the windshield washer fluid, must be that one special time, try it!
... I dont recall 10w-40 was the oil Id used during my last DIY oil chge, I seem to remember 5w-30, but double check

Thanks for the info guys. I ended up calling my SA at Tishcher, and he just said to buy a quart of Mobil 1 5w30 and be done with it, unless I wanted to drive my ass to MD. Uhh... negative, Ghost Rider. I didn't try Sterling... maybe next time.

If you already have not taken care of it, why not try going over to Sterling? I just showed up, said I needed to have my oil topped off, and they didnt even check me in. I just pulled up and they topped it off for me... |
