I check mine every week. Just a habit from the old days of a dipstick. But from iDrive you can measure your oil (less than a minute on level ground, car not moving, not touching gas, etc) and it gives you a measurement. There's a "max" level and a "min" level. At "min", add a quart. But the measurement will show 3 levels between "min" and "max". Is this where the computer is telling you? I've just added a half-quart in 4900 miles to date. I think this is in line with the last 335.
