Electronic oil checking: Notes

2013 Mini Cooper Countryman, Standard TransSECTION Notes
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 45 other vehicles, including the 2016 BMW M5, 2016 BMW 550i xDrive, 2016 BMW 550i, 2016 BMW 535i xDrive, and 2016 BMW 535i. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

In a running production change, the engines receive an oil level sensor instead of the oil condition sensor.

The electronic oil level check in the 2nd generation is implemented with this oil level sensor. Additionally, a new, simplified display and operating concept will be introduced.

NOTE: The M GmbH vehicles retain the oil condition sensor. However, the new display and operating concept will also be introduced here.
