2 Answers
When changing the engine oil for the BMW 120i, approximately 3.8 liters of engine oil need to be added. Here is some information about BMW: 1. Introduction: BMW (abbreviation for Bayerische Motoren Werke) is a German automobile brand under the BMW Group. 2. Content: It has four model series: i, X, Z, and pure numeric models, as well as series like 1, 2, 3, and the M series (BMW's official high-performance modification division) based on improvements of these series. The BMW logo's B.M.W. stands for Bavarian Motor Works, and the colors and combination of the logo are derived from the coat of arms of Bavaria, where BMW is headquartered. 3. Development: On June 21, 2021, BMW ranked 71st in the 2021 Kantar BrandZ™ Most Valuable Global Brands list with a brand value of $24.821 billion.
I've been driving a BMW 120i for three years. During maintenance, the technician said this car's oil capacity is between 4.5 to 5.25 liters. Last oil change, I watched as the mechanic first added 4.8 liters, started the engine for two minutes then turned it off, waited ten minutes before checking the dipstick and found the oil level just reached the midpoint without further top-up. Different engine models have different requirements - mine with the B48 engine needs 5.25 liters, but since old oil can't be completely drained, slightly less is actually added. I recommend owners check their manual or the label near the oil filler cap which specifies the exact quantity. Overfilling may cause abnormal oil pressure damaging the engine, while insufficient oil leads to inadequate lubrication. Checking when the engine is cold on level ground gives the most accurate reading.
