How to Check Oil Level on BMW 328i

Just a short how to

[@AJMackey1]

Lol, I too spent about 10 mins looking for the dipstick, thanks for the video

[@vijaypguna]

I prefer dipstick for 2 reasons. - Easy direct way to check the level, instead of relying with some crazy sensor. You don't want the engine running to check the level and then find out it is low. - Can be used to check the quality of oil by verifying the color.

Thanks. Yea i was driving my buddies 2013 BMW 328i, and went through this asinine process. With a Dip stick you can (a) get an exact level reading without running the engine ,(b) check the viscosity of the oil with your fingers, and (c) do a visual check for dirt and other contaminants. With this long process all you get is an "ok"

Thank you, for taking the time to upload this video on how to check your oil level. It help me in a big way to understand my 330i more better. I didn't understand why the light came on till i came across your video. And believe me when i say you have save my car from messing up. My oil level was real low. So i check it and added more to it. Thank. you.. Keep up the good work.

The dipstick is typically located in the drivers seat on these cars.

[@blakezegarsky905]

All oil burners should have a dip stick high end or not

[@P8P89]

Blake Zegarsky agreed. It can’t be that difficult to implicate a dipstick into your precious BMW engine...damn engineers

[@jamesesparks7950]

Thanks. Perfect and concise information. And I also prefer the dipstick method and was looking for one for about 10 mins under the hood!

[@boostedgsx]

Thanks James .... Glad the video helped out!

[@WinstonSmith6]

Thank you I thought they put the dip stick under the Seat or something. Wish it had one apparently you're never supposed to even open the hood on this car.

[@paulg444]

why design a 5$ dip stick when you can have a 350$ electronic system to read your oil level! !!

[@user-qr9kp2jq2g]

Very useful thanks

[@MB-rr1fb]

1:15 The level shows up right away AFTER the car is warmed up. This car was started 45 seconds ago

[@ggonzalez6045]

I just bought one x drive 09 .. Some noi coming from the from right wheel.. i don't know if is the rotors or wheel bearing.. Halo light out on the right side to.. i just recharge the ac nice and cool now..

[@Osiel640]

Thank you

[@zayrivergara2203]

I was looking for my dipstick and my battery, I couldn't find either. I just told myself my car is really fancy and doesn't need any of those things. 😂😂😂

[@charliebrown1006]

The battery's in the trunk lol, that comment tickled my funny bone though

[@reynaldlobo]

Rear right side next to the tail light is located the battery. For check the oil you need to check on the painel of car. It's eletronic system measure the level. Take a look at owner manual because every bmw is a little different each others model. God bless you

[@sierrawestre]

Thank you for this quick video clip! And thank you for not telling your life story ahead of time.

[@semajdouglas3231]

I service my car jus now n my oil can’t be check it’s saying indifinet ror something like dat

[@tocoolcar]

mine just has a loading clock?

[@ErinRaciell]

That lever doesn’t control your wipers, it controls your turning signals, also you didn’t explain if you need to turn the car fully or just turn the dashboard on, cause theres two stages when using the “start” button

[@McTheez]

Did it have to be on ?

[@salviog_]

Thank you so much

[@gomezvlogs9280]

What if my oil level doesn’t work ?

[@McTheez]

Does the engine has to be on ?

[@jarmainepascua3399]

Hi when should i get oil change ive been using my car now for 6 months i hot it used! Every time I checked it says 11000 or on 2018 .i just dont get it .why is that long .hope u can help .god bless

[@KSI_Revelations]

fuck that. change your oil every 3000 miles 5 maybe 6k at the most. i do not believe in the concept of 12k oil changes.

[@loopster40]

Mine says "OK" and the bar progression is a little past minimum. Is that really "OK"?

[@loopster40]

Also if you had to add 1 liter. Isn't that 1 1/2 quarts? I would think so since 1 liter is 1.0567 quarts. Is my math correct? lol

[@marilynredmond8902]

won't be b buying one but i am a dinosaur who wants a dip stick

[@Apollo_Simply_frank]

Umm explain that Gas mileage though?!

[@liljonsp616]

Man thats stupid, what do you do when the sensor goes?

[@futureshock7425]

Just another expense!!! But hey if you got the $$$

[@LovelyTwins-up2gp]

lil jon mine is showing oil when I check on the dash,but I know there’s oil I. It. Not happy with my 2011 BMW 328 at all

[@233monte]

Good video. German engineering huh? Wait till these gems hit 70k miles and start leaking oil from everywhere.

[@tocoolcar]

mine just shows a loading clock

[@camdenkerndavis]

LOL you gotta let the engine warm up

[@noelaguirre7104]

No dipstick sound absurd to you what about no temperature gauge. We own one without temperature gauge. a bit unsettling in my opinion.

[@avramnicorici245]

Damn you Your video is made on darkness

[@billrocks6706]

Lol you know that's the turn signal

[@davidrawlinson1301]

Changing oil for a friend of mine. She never gets under the hood. Glad I checked....after feeling like a dumbass! Why would anyone think this is a good idea? So to check the tranny fluid I guess I should click my heels together, rub my stomach & pat my head, and wait for Glenda the good witch to bring me some of what the Germans were smoking so I can figure out the rest of this bucket! I never cared for BMW autos before. I despise them even more now! By the way, she has an oil leak. I am afraid to look much more. I have a feeling the car is going to ask me for a cover charge upon entry at the hood! If this is what luxury is, then keep it. I will keep my F-150 & Town Car any day!!!

[@bobbobby1412]

What a stupid title. Do you know how many different generations of 328i there are? Every one has a different process for checking the oil level.

[@dfweurocars]

If you couldnt tell it was an E90 thats your problem
