Oil Consumption

  • I think this oil measure system can only show the oil consumption in blocks of 250ml, that is why at one time it jumps from 75% to 50% between MIN and MAX.


    Till the first service at 30000km it was still on MAX. Now 20000km later the level is on 75%.
    It is possible that the engine starts to have oil consumption when it has more kilometers or during the service at 30000km they put some less oil in the engine as from the factory. I think when you get the Mini new there is still the oil in the engine that is filled up in the factory?!
    It can also be an combination of the two things.
    But even an half liter on 20000km is almost nothing.


    I have mixed feelings with the electronic measurement, you get no dirty hands when you check oil level but an normal dipstick als extra would be better.

  • Glad to hear, you're in the same situation. Your theorie can be true!
