engine oil top up warning

Beams · 06-25-2021, 12:06 PM

Today my 2018 Petrol X1 gave an engine oil top up warning, asking me top up one litre. The notification disappeared after I parked the car and turned it on again.

It has not been a year since the oil change service, only about 6500 miles driven after oil change.

edit: Just ran a oil level measure after a 20 minutes drive, it shows indeed the oil level was low.

The question is, is it normal that oil at low level after 6500 miles?

Without knowing which motor, I suggest BMW would say that 1L oil consumption over that distances was within normal limits.
