Mikey Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Recently had my oil service at the main stealer and they put 6.5 litres in but assuming a 330 would take more than a 320d. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cunni Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 325Ci 6.5ltrs, And mine drinks it like a bad boy! So the extra comes in handy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off topic but it shouldn't be drinking oil like an alcoholic! I changed oil grades and since then it hasn't used nowhere near as much as it did before!

simonlpearce Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Think min is 6.5 also. As above a thiker oil helps to stop the car drinking it so quick, had exactly the same on mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M3BIMMER Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 5.5 Litres in a 2.0D This is about right, i did my 325i last year and it took just under 6 litres so 5 should do it 5.5 is more than enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darran Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Out of interest how much oil should you expect to lose over the period of say one year? if 10 = MAX and 0 = Empty and it was at 10 where should it be a year later? Sorry if this sounds very boring and overly complicated but just trying to gauge if I'm running ok! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if this sounds very boring and overly complicated but just trying to gauge if I'm running ok! I dont know if this helps but i have run my car for 7 months from full and it just needed a small top up of around 1/4 of a litre thats all, i dont even think it was that much to be honest why what are you putting in? i would say between 8 and 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darran Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Cheers guys! I'm not actually using anything between services as far as I can tell, that's what I was amazed at! I'm probably @ 9/10 a year on! TBH I only do about 5k miles a year anyways so that's obviously a big factor! HP88 - That don't sound very good matey!!

HP88 Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 Was concerned at first but when the car went it for a service the BMW mechanic said a litre of oil every 1K to 1.5K miles was common on the 6 pot engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
