2008 BMW 328i how to check oil level

[@ethersecure2432]

You're awesome man! Not even my mechanic knew that, lol.

[@msp507]

thank you for the video I was racking my brain looking for the dipstick

[@JDoubleSends]

You dip shit

[@teresasatir7446]

you are the best thank you so very much. i've asked the dealers and they will not tell you. thanks my oil light come on and i have a 1000 miles before an oil change. now i know how to check it. so i won't worry to take it for a oil change so early each time.

[@JackRR15]

+teresa satir Lol, it's in the owner's manual... why wouldn't the dealer tell you.

[@kimturner2230]

When I get to the Oil screen it says "Inactive" how to activate it? Thanks.

[@Edwin-km4xk]

You don't need to press on the gaz pedal for it to work. Leave it 2-3 minutes idling on startup and it will show the result

[@kenglee88]

I use the dip stick to check the state of the oil and level for all i know.. they probably haven't even change the oil for 9,000 mile but i wont know because because it doesnt give me an option..

[@RichardandJudy1]

Thank you for sharing. You gave clear instructions.

I have a 1986 ford bronco with a 351W. That's all I'll ever drive. I don't have to worry about all of the crazy sophistications that modern cars have. I can service it myself and it has a transmission and oil dipstick.

[@outlawslaw1]

I too have a 70 ss el camino with a 396, and a jeep with a 289 small block in it and love the ease of the things you speak of. But when i drive my 328 BMW nothing else feels like it and the luxuries it has is amazing. Car fits you like a glove so its all how you want to drive. Long road trips its my BMW.

[@KrysLynne82]

omg you saved my life buddy, thank you

[@lcpd26]

This is stupid first of all you can't check the state of the oil secondly of the car is sitting for 3 years without running the engine,the oil will have went to the oil pan you wouldn't know your oil level if you did not start your car but if it's sitting for 3 years well could not have oil at all but you wouldn't know till sou start the car and then too late engine damage German stupid engineers too hard to put a dipstick

[@JackRR15]

+lcpd26 Yeah it is dumb but at the same time it's not really that bad.

[@chicowavy9011]

What’s the abs dtc light and the engine service soon on the dashboard??? I have the same two lights on my bmw 328i

[@johnsmith-or6ih]

Good job mate, I never knew that and its helped me right out, I was just gonna start a 800 mile drive with very little oil. Thanks.

[@danielmcgowan2279]

Tried watching this video 4 times and fell asleep every time. Could you drag it out any slower?

[@bobdublin825]

Got ticking sound but oil level good. Any ideas?

[@E46Gbaby37]

Ok so how do you know how much to put in if it’s at that level

[@SyHi905]

my engine oil level is just under max so like 75% is that ok?

[@HansDelbruck53]

You probably want the oil level at the optimum level rather than the maximum level. I'd check the owner's manual to see what the proper level should be.

[@ACURACALABAR11]

7 years later n u wrong. U always want the oil on the max level. Thats the 6.7 litre i believe. Even when its between min n max. Its ok because te engine can still operate safely but max is where suppose to be

[@hydro_rebel7741]

I dont understand how you don't have a dipstick. Anyone can change the computer status.

[@ArtSkyNet]

1:35 - car checked underneath!!! :) + wrong oil checking instructions!!!

[@al8685]

Next time hit pause video recording till it warms up. That wait was painful on video but thanks. First time not seeing a dipstick . wth

[@nick-eh5gb]

Mine when i check it the clock comes for about 10 seconds saying loading up but it doesnt load and then it will go back to the main screen and i have to scroll back through and it wont ever give me reading

[@affordablepropertymaintena9213]

Is the engine warm and running

[@nick-eh5gb]

@@affordablepropertymaintena9213 i got it thats what it was gotta drive it for a lil until its warm enough to get a reading

[@beachcity5627]

I glad my car got oil stick and not on LCD once that LCD go out you fuck it cost money every new on a ain't good but I appreciate the video I need to watch this for my friend daughter car...

[@mikesabin8568]

Interesting that when people buy the car, they dont ask the dealer how to do it before they leave the lot? Just drive off, buy it new, don’t bother to figure out how to do it? Pretty stupid

[@Kinghavs]

Thank you señor

[@mythoughts3553]

thank you sir

[@jessemartinez6781]

Yup rev that cold engine lol lets get some friction going 😆

[@maxwellness7693]

how could they do this to you innocent people. a job that took less than 20seconds has become a 2-3min endurance test. got to warm it up on requires a top up go to the hood poor some oil in go back check the reading needs more run back to the hood.

[@JackRR15]

+Max Wellness Well you always had to warm up your engine to check the oil even with a dipstick. But I must say it is dumb no dipstick but at the same time I like it that it's electronic.

[@JackRR15]

***** It's techy and I love tech and electronic stuff.

[@JackRR15]

***** I mean, it's not that bad of time consuming. know for a fact the new iDrive BMWs you just go to vehicle info and then check oil level. It's not even a minute probably. And even then 2 minutes is not to long either...

[@JackRR15]

***** Yeah it should have both ways true.

[@MrBaddiss27]

Thanks

[@نامقمحمد-غ2ي]

No ,,, thank you bro ...

[@bearieroblox6451]

Or they could have just given us a dipstick :/

[@danielfl.9347]

Instead of raving it, then just ride in it for 10 minutes. No reason for the rev.

[@dericanslum1696]

...car has to be stationary for X amount of time to get the reading...and revving does the same thing just not under a load...

[@trewilliams8789]

My reader is inaccurate

[@sdgv420215]

pfffthahahahahahaaaha
