Being a quart low around 7K miles isn't that bad.
More likely your engine will use less oil over time as more miles are put on it.
Others have made good recommendations on the oil you can use from auto supply stores. You don't have to use BMW oil to top it off.
The N55 3.0 has a 7 quart capacity so it has a very large oil supply, which is a good thing.  |
thanks everyone for clearing this up. So is it safe to buy mobil 1 0w40 or castroil 0W30 whicever i can find at my local store and top it up? If i take it to the dealer will they add it for free since bimmer comes with no charge 4 years maintenance?
thanks
