[@silvermullet]

you my friend are a lifesaver. my battery was running now and eventually got too low the other day. i charged it yesterday. today after i did an oil change, i wanted to check the level and it gave me that message. just connected my scanner and just cleared codes even tho nothing showed up and now ok level reads OK!

Tahir, thank you so much for the video. I was about to order a replacement sensor but tried your method and it worked.

[@superreddyification]

Thank you! This helped me after I replaced the oil level sensor on my 2013 BMW 335i xDrive

[@TahirShaikh1]

Glad it helped!

[@iaburawa]

Fixed as you advised, thanks alot

[@tanatsopo6110]

Had similar problem... In my situation some wires to the fuse box in the engine compartment were damaged. Reconnected the wires and system worked after a rescan

[@itsmemckee2110]

Thank you! Mines also saying oil reset unsuccessful....will it fix that to?

[@24hourgmtchannel64]

Removing the $2 oil stick in favor of a $100 sensor is where BMW jumped the shark. IMO is one of the dumbest moves by an automaker to date and why my 2004 E46 will be my last BMW I'll ever own.

Not just Bmw all German car use that method lol

[@24hourgmtchannel64]

@@mlifestyle8067 doesn't surprise me. I won't be owning any new German cars moving forward.

Tell me about it, I regret getting the 528i. Nothing beats Chevrolet and dodge.

[@Jay-May]

I owned a 1983 733, it had an oil level sensor in it, but it also had a dip stick. Imagine owning a 1998 BMW, then updating to a 2004 BMW 330i and the dip stick was gone. Then purchasing a 2007 BMW 328 and a X5 and the dipstick is gone too!

How much oil in bmw 528i 6 cylinder engine 2010 model

[@denc8458]

Life saver you are.

[@Rossirx7]

Had same issues with the measuring process stopping at 15%. Turned out the oil filter cap wasn’t tightened enough. Put torque wrench to 25nm, tighten it up and then measuring process went to 100%!

[@xellium5445]

Could you please explain some more about what you did? I’m getting this as well after I did an oil change and am worried. 2016 BMW 550i

[@Haramer]

Hi do you mean it wasn’t tightened enough?

[@Rossirx7]

@@Haramer * wasn’t tightening enough. Thanks, I’ll edit it.

[@USABOSS357]

I have 2013 BMW 328ix mine show engine oil level inactive . I replaced the sensor cleaned the code problem remains same . Any idea any help greatly appreciate it

[@TahirShaikh1]

Maybe disconnect your car battery for few minutes, connect back, clear codes and see if the problem persists.

[@alessandrodelpiero4395]

Tahir, in my it is staring measuring, but it is not going til end (100%) , it is stopping once lets say after 20%, could you please help me?

[@TahirShaikh1]

Oh, I don’t know about this problem. Did you cleared all Codes? Your could be bad sensor, I am not sure.

[@alessandrodelpiero4395]

@@TahirShaikh1Maybe oil filter is not tightened enough

[@LevanGeorgia]

this is not solution to be honest. once you disconnect obd, after some minutes/hours error comes back and you won't be able to check engine oil level again.

[@TahirShaikh1]

Error never came back in my case. Still running strong and able to measure oil level.

[@mlifestyle8067]

I’m having the same issue which lead me to knowing the you have bad oil level sensor

[@LevanGeorgia]

@@mlifestyle8067 yes, maybe it could be oil sensor problem, but also it could be PUMP problem

Long winded video just to say you cleared the codes man

Can’t say anything. It could be bad sensor. Please comment down if you get it fixed and the diagnosis so other people can benefit
