Oil level sensor issues
Just did an oil change and only drained about 5-1/4 quarts. Days before the oil change I checked oil level and it still registered full. I check oil level with almost every tank of gas and never saw the level drop from full. I would expect oil level to read something other than full when almost 2qts low. I thought it should let you know when you are 1 quart low?
I am planning on changing out the oil level sensor at my nect oil change. Wish I just did it now since I have one sitting in my BMW parts bin. I have a bunch of contingency parts ready to go since I am almost at 100k miles on my 16 435i. |

How much new oil did it take when you refilled? When I change the oil on my N55 I usually pour in 6 quarts and then warm it up and check the level. It’s usually about 1/2 quart low so I just add that much out of a 7th quart bottle.
My Oil Level Sensor has already been replaced once. It was okay for a short time but now gives oil low warnings almost every time that I start the car. When I check the level it’s always full. Various ground connections were checked because that reportedly can cause this symptom. No ground problems found. So now I’m replacing the oil level sensor again. |
