Engine oil
General
Engine oil consumption depends on the driving
style and operating conditions.
Therefore check the engine oil level regularly
each time you fill up with fuel by taking a detailed
measurement.
Engine oil consumption may increase due to the
following, for example:
▷
Dynamic driving style.
▷
Running in the engine.
▷
Engine idling.
▷
Use of engine oil grades categorised as un‐
suitable.
Different Check Control messages are shown on
the Control Display, depending on the engine oil
level.
Safety notes
NOTE
Too little engine oil causes engine damage.
There is a risk of material damage. Top up with
engine oil immediately.
NOTE
Too much engine oil can damage the engine or
the catalytic converter. There is a risk of mate‐
rial damage. Do not add too much engine oil. If
there is too much engine oil, have the engine
oil level corrected by a Service Partner of the
manufacturer or another qualified Service Part‐
ner or a specialist workshop.
Electronic oil measurement
General
Electronic oil measurement uses two measuring
methods:
▷
Monitoring.
▷
Detailed measurement.
When frequently making short trips or using a
dynamic driving style, for example taking corners
at high speed, perform a detailed measurement
at regular intervals.
Monitoring
Principle
The engine oil level is monitored electronically
during the journey and can be shown on the
Control Display.
If the engine oil level is outside its permissible
operating range, a Check Control message is
shown.
Operating requirements
A current measurement is available after approxi‐
mately 30 minutes of normal driving.
Displaying the engine oil level
Via iDrive:
1.
"CAR"
2.
"Vehicle status"
3.
"Engine oil level"
The engine oil level is displayed.
System limits
When frequently making short trips or using a
dynamic driving style, it may not be possible to
measure the oil level. In this case, the measure‐
ment for the last, sufficiently long journey is dis‐
played.
