Oil level check
Hi,
I just took my 2008 3.0si out of winter storage and when I had it fully warmed up, I pressed the small right button between the two pods. It took a minute to register and then gave a reading of ‘+1’. What does that mean? To add one quart of oil? Thanks |

Yep - add 1 quart.

Thanks Roadroach.
Here is an an update: Before adding a quart of oil this morning, the yellow oil light would stay on after I turned off the car. I added one quart of oil and the yellow light does not come on after turning off the car but it still says '+1' when I run the oil level system. Does this mean I should add another quart? Thanks |

There's a really good explanation of the BMW oil level system here: https://www.e90post.com/forums/showt...f%20the%20oil.

I only drove the car for about 10 minutes before checking the oil level so I am going to take it out again for a longer drive and then remeasure.
Thanks for all of your help. I really appreciate it. |

Lisa -
No problem. I was getting nervous when you mentioned adding another quart of oil. Glad we got that figured out.
