BMW 1 Series Oil Check - No Dip Stick - Oil Change.

Oil Change on BMW Without 

Dipstick, How To.


This answer is applicable for many BMW's in addition to the one listed below.


On most of the newer BMW models that do not have engine oil dipsticks, the actual oil change is really no different than any other model.  Until it’s time to refill.
When refilling (after replacing the drain plug and installing a new oil filter), add the specified amount of oil, then start the engine.  Follow the specified oil level monitoring procedure for your specific BMW model (owners’ manual or Bentley Publishing repair manual).  The procedure for your E90 3-series model is as follows:
*  Car on level surface
* Run engine until operating temperature is reached.
* Increase engine RPM (speed) to 1100 rpm and hold for 3 minutes.
*  Return engine to idle speed.
* Use the toggle switch to scroll up or down until the oil level indicator shows in the instrument cluster display.
*  Press in the “BC” switch on the end of the turn signal lever to start the oil level check.

*  Proper oil level display is shown within about 3 minutes.

FOLLOW THE STEPS BELOW BUDDY BOY.
