Picked up my new '14 GS in February and love it. After only my 3rd short ride, the "Check Engine Oil" on the dash came on on the way home today. After reading the instructions on the Nav V, it said to check the oil level at my next fuel stop. When I got home and referenced the manual it said to check it at running temperature and to add oil if low but to take it to a BMW tech to have it checked if the oil level was too high. Well, the level is slightly high. This may be a dumb question, but wouldn't I just simply loosen the oil plug and let drain a little oil until the proper level is acquired? What is the purpose of seeing a tech?
