F55/F56 Oil check
Oil check
2014 F56s
Oh why cant I have a dipstick. Old Curmudgeon with a safety check needed.
Do I add oil or leave it the hell alone? If so .. how much do I add?
Almost 2000 miles since my last oil change so about 1000 to my next.
I figure .. it says OK but .. wanted to check with you experts.
Thank you in advance for any guidance.

As long as the measured level is in between the MIN and MAX marks, no need to stress. Check it again in ~500 miles to see if any change.
I don't know how easy it would be to add this retrofit to the Mini engine bay:
