BMW Triumphant
Ed Kilner #176066
Let us now read from the Manual...
Engine Oil, Specified Level
-Between Min and Max
and
if the level is above MAX, [remove some]
We should not split hairs, I put in the recommended 4 liters as close as I could determine. It did fill to max, but there is nowhere I can find where Max is too much. Above Max, sure, they say to fix that.
And, I did have to check the next morning. Immediately after the engine shut down, the level began filling the sight glass quickly, then slowed, and after 5 minutes - was right at dead centre!
Can you point to a reference for hitting the centre exactly?
Which confirms that 4 liters is too much. Oil level should be at the center dot.
