e46 330ci Oil Levels

Recommended Posts

Guys

When starting the oil light illuminates red and goes out as per usual, however after some hard driving the oil light sometimes flickers on in yellow??

What does this mean... and do I simply top the oil back up?

Looks like something for Page European to sort in its next service.

oil levels in the 3.0 can drop overtime, esp if you service it at ever 25k intervals. pull the stick out and have a quick look.

Yellow = low oil level = top it up soon.

Red = low pressure/failure = stop immediately before the big smoky bang.

Thanks guys, I did check the dip stick and it looked normal, the light hasnt been back on and I havent added anymore oil.

I'll keep an eye on it.
