[QUOTE="danc, post: 217217, member: 2441"] Hi GHS, I thought you just got your car. What is your milage? Seems too early for an engine oil top up. I have driven my car for 13,000km + and have never topped up even once, but there are some users who have. 1) Your dealer is correct. You only need to top up once the BC prompts you to add 1 liter. DONT top up before that or there is a chance you will add too much oil and that is no good. 2) Yup, the 3 years/60000km service does not cover fluid top ups. They will even charge you for washer fluid. However, if you do know the service guys well enough, washer top ups can be free, but not oil. If you catch my drift. 3) I guess as long as you use the BMW specified engine oil, I guess you can top it up yourself, as for me I am finicky and would not like to have different oil in my engine at the same time, so I will still go pay RM40 to get the same brand. However do note that AB Sg Besi has switch their oil to Petronas, while the others are still using Shell Helix. Not sure when but I think the rest will follow suite. [/QUOTE]
