How to Check the Engine Oil in a BMW X5?
1 Answers
The oil dipstick of the BMW X5 is located next to the engine, with a pull ring. Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean with a towel (or soft paper), then reinsert it into the dipstick slot in the engine. Push it all the way in, then pull it out again to check the oil level. Below is a step-by-step guide on how to read the oil level: 1. Locate the oil dipstick handle in the engine compartment and prepare a piece of tissue. 2. Pull out the dipstick and use the tissue to completely wipe off the oil stuck to the dipstick head. At this point, take note of the position of the dipstick's markings (usually marked with MIN and MAX). 3. Reinsert the cleaned dipstick all the way in, then pull it out again. The oil now sticking to the end of the dipstick can be used for observation. 4. Observe the oil level on the dipstick to determine the highest point of the engine oil inside the engine.
