Where is the oil dipstick located in a BMW 5 Series?
1 Answers
The BMW 5 Series does not have an oil dipstick. Currently produced gasoline-powered models are equipped with an engine oil level sensor in the oil pan, and the oil level is displayed on the central display via the sensor. The oil level in the BMW 5 Series can be displayed in the iDrive system, and it will calculate the oil level when activated. Information about oil dipsticks is as follows: 1. The function of an oil dipstick is to measure the static height of the oil level, thereby reflecting whether the engine oil volume is within a reasonable range. 2. In automobiles, the oil dipstick is a commonly used control ruler to check the amount of lubricating oil in the oil hole. Since the dipstick insertion hole has a curved path, the dipstick must be able to deform when inserted and rebound when pulled out.
