can someone point me/ or tell me how to check the oil level on my 2.0 ?
i have found it but the symbols mean nothing to me - it looks like [ ] ----
what the hell does that mean ?
dlv did an oil change so im sure all is well, i just want to understand what it means :headbang:
 
Hi, engine has to be up to normal temp before you check, which can be 5miles+ in cooler weather.
The display shows how many segments of oil are detected the car beeps when a litre is needed.
That was on my 3litre so not sure if your 2litre will be identical :?

Its not a Z4 but this vid show how to do it on an X3 N52 engine, same steps as my facelift 2008 Z4 - skip to 1:30

nope.. it will beep when you switch off the engine, the oil can light will come on and the digital display under the clocks will say add 1 litre.. fresh in my mind as it happened to me this morning :D you probably have 0.25 of a litre left before it will alert you
 
lol, I’m a newbie and am going through some of the posts and am so glad others have asked questions that
1) I had on my mind to ask
2) had not thought to ask
3) felt like an idiot to ask
4) it was obvious to ask

I’m just grateful fir ALL the questions and ALL the answers in reading in these posts
It’s appreciated guys :D
