My oil was due for a change, the level on the MMI menu showed a quarter full, I have just changed the oil and I got out 7.5 litres, I then put back in 7.5 litres as recommended and now the level shows full, why would it be different? It makes me think it’s more of a quality of oil gauge more than a level. Also I have never had an ‘oil OK’ message on the dash at start up but when I started the car after changing the oil I got an ‘oil OK’ message, how does it know Iv changed it 😂 I then started it again and no message 🤷🏻‍♂️. One more thing, I thought the oil extraction pump method was stupid, now Iv done it I love it, never going under a car to do the oil again.

The car needs to be driven some distance, maybe 100 miles, before that oil level indication is good.

I suspect all is OK unless you've over-filled it. Be patient, and welcome aboard !

Thanks! I checked the level before I did the change and it said quarter full, then straight after and it said full, but i put the same in, I was very confused lol.

The system some time to display an accurate level. Be patient.

It says oil OK so that's good enough for me lol.

Every time you open the hood you will get OK oil sign
