Where can the BMW oil dipstick be checked?
1 Answers
BMW vehicles do not have a mechanical oil dipstick. To check the oil level on a BMW, you can only use the electronic oil dipstick in the iDrive multimedia system or find the oil level option on the dashboard. About engine oil: Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant (Engine Oil), protects the engine from damage caused by high temperatures and, to some extent, can clean impurities in the engine cylinders, primarily serving a lubricating function. Functions of engine oil: Lubrication: Maintains the viscosity between the cylinder and piston, ensuring normal operation and reducing friction between components to minimize wear. Cooling: Assists the car's cooling system in lowering the temperature of the engine's internal environment to some extent. Cleaning: Removes sludge, carbon deposits, and other impurities attached to engine parts, keeping the environment clean. Sealing: Seals gases within the engine's pistons and piston rings, reducing the entry of external impurities.
