I can fill up in 5 min and more importantly x5 drives and handles a lot better IMHO. But yes, in the long run, I also will succumb to EV. Just not Tesla. It will be same BMW X5, but with EV |

Only 3 months since my last top-off and DING! goes the low oil warning. But I went on a 600+ mile road trip in December for the holidays though so makes sense.

How many miles did you put on before the need for two quarts? I never got the warning only because I check my oil level every couple weeks and added oil when it was about a quart low , I used that one quart in about 3200 miles so not to bad.

I had BMW do an oil consumption test on my 5.0 (about 22K miles on clock) and the motor used a bit less than a full quart in 1200 miles. I did go over the official 1000 miles which the test calls for. Apparently that's within specs.

Car made July 2017.
WRT dipstick ....the guy at the end of the official BMW Roadside Assistance connection...the number you ring from in iDrive....did tell me he was not a technical person and he tried very hard to help which he did since all I wanted was the type of oil to add.... Despite the dipstick I'm happy. When I get back to the big smoke no doubt the service manager will confirm there is no dipstick and be sceptical since the motor thinks no service is needed for another 10k miles. Thanks chaps Ps if the car asks for 2 quarts do you give it two quarts? Or a lesser amount? |

Mine always reads full and I change oil at 7500 miles. Never had a top up warning in the 20000 miles I’ve owned it.

Figured I'd dig up this thread.
My car has been eating more oil now than before. It didn't consume any oil from new to maybe 22,000 miles. I got a transmission fluid change at 50,000 miles at the dealer who also did a "PPI" for me, while they dropped the transmission, they found that my rear crankshaft seal was leaking oil... Also apparently my oil pan gasket was leaking oil as well. Go figure.

I had to add two quarts at the start of a July trip that accounted for 3.5K miles. I think the odometer was at 35K miles.
All the fluids were checked by dealer prior to the trip. I called my SA to make certain I was getting the correct oil. The timing was not good because I was fighting Atlanta traffic and dressed for solemn occasion.

In the past when I did my own changes I’ve never had to drop the transmission. They also checked my valve stem seals no problems there. I guess maybe our cars not burning oil just leaky. |
