Today morning once i started driving my car for a bit, got a low engine oil level warning from my car. It was only 9k from my last service with the AD in Feb 2022. My car is only 1.5yrs old and fortunately still under warranty....will monitor the situation after topping this oil up. So went to Shell petrol station and bought a 1L bottle 0w40 fully syn oil. Park the car on a flat surface, stop the engine, Open the bonnet and identify where the 710 cap is... Pardon my dusty engine bay. Using a rag, open the 710 cap in anticlockwise direction (warning, it will be hot and may have hot air/steam rushing out). Pour in the whole 1L bottle of the oil. Recap the 710 in clockwise twist. Close the bonnet. Get back into your car and recheck the oil level. Done. Keeping finger cross it is nothing major. But from the infotainment system instructions, seem like this event is pretty much run of the mill and can be easily DIYed. It did not even suggest sending back to the AD for further check. So I am interpreting it as something very common place for BMW twinpower engines?

Hi, Trying to search for a sticky question on how to post photo here but couldn’t find . Do I still need to upload my photos to some online storage like photobucket and then cut and paste the link here? Or now can be upload directly to Mcf ? Besides photobucket, what reliable online photo storage are more ppl using? Cos I find that most ppl posting thru photobucket got their photo in MCF cannot load or got other problem.
