Oil top up

[Beemer_new]

Hi guys,

I’ve recently purchased bmw series 1 sport 118d. I had a message come up saying oil is below minumum. I did about ten miles to Halfords and topped it up with 2 litres of oil. I’ve done an oil check and on the hub it’s at max. I’ve heard that the engine seems to be rattling abit more. It might be me coming from a 1.6 petrol car to a diesel but would it be worth releasing some oil? Thanks in advance

Hi Matt 

Welcome to the Forum

You say on the hub its at max? Is that the onboard screen oil level? If it is you do have a Dip stick always check oil there it may be worth checking there.

Hi, I’m not sure if it has a dipstick I can’t seem to locate it. The oil at max is on the hub after it done the check. 
Thanks

I thought there was a dip stick right side low down at the rear of the engine

Yes I’ve found it. Had a few mill over so pumped some out. Thanks
