Engine oil
The engine oil consumption depends on driving
style and driving conditions.
Checking oil level
Your vehicle is equipped with an electronic oil
level control.
To obtain the most accurate possible oil level
reading, the measurement should be taken
when the engine is at operating temperature,
i.e. following an uninterrupted drive of at least
6 miles/10 km. You can display the oil level
while driving or when stopped on a level surface
with the engine running.
The current oil level can be viewed on the Con-
trol Display.
iDrive, for principle details, refer to page 16.
