Does BMW Have an Oil Dipstick?
1 Answers
BMW does not have an oil dipstick; the oil level is displayed in the vehicle's central instrument panel. Oil Classification: Oil classification is represented by a combination of two letters. The "S" series denotes oil for gasoline engines, with specifications ranging from SA to SN (in alphabetical order, excluding SI). Each subsequent letter indicates improved performance over the previous one, with more additives to protect the engine. Meaning of Oil Letters: The later the letter in the alphabet, the higher the quality grade. Most international brands have oil grades above SF. The "C" series represents oil for diesel engines. If both "S" and "C" letters are present, it indicates that the oil is suitable for both gasoline and diesel engines.
