Question
 
Guys,

Can anyone tell me how to check the oil level on the dip stick for the N62 motor? Should the vehicle be OFF or ON? :mellow:


Thanks In Advance,

Kevin

Believe there are no dipstick's and the motor has to be running and warmed up i believe. Check via idrive. my car only shows the level when fully warmed up. bmw has no acullay dip sticks in newer models.

Thanks bro, but the motor I have has a dip stick. I'm assuming it was one of the last motors in production with a dip stick. Don't trust the i-drive cuz the oil level sensor failed before and i almost blew the motor thinking there was oil as per the i-drive but there wasn't.

I have an 07 550i, engine is N62TU. Mine does have a dip stick. You need to check the oil level when the engine is off and the car has sat for awhile to get a more accurate reading.
