Question: Engine oil usage
Question
I have had this car one year with less than 8,000 miles and have had to add 3 quarts of oil, 2 in the last 3 months! Now we had the car serviced and the oil changed about a month ago and the warning light came on telling me to add a quart of oil. I have had 3 previous BMW 7 series and have never had to add any oil! the dealer tols my wife that this is normal.

MasterI would write/complain to the factory. This is NOT typical of a BMW & series.

I have the same 2009 BMW 750li and with less than 10000 miles and have added 3 quarts of oil as well. I have also been told by the dealer that this is normal and should subside as more miles are put on the engine and things start to settle in. Not sure I am buying this explanation. I have also had two prior 7 series 2007 and 2008.Flag ThisLike | 1 person likes this1 -

Visitor, October 26, 2010, 07:46ReplyI also have a 2009 750Li. At 8,000 miles, I had added 3 quarts of oil. The dealer says BMW spec is that it could use up to a quart every 1,500 miles. At 13,000 miles, I've now added a total of 5 quarts of oil. I've never had to add oil between oil changes. This is my 5th 7 series, and while the design is much nicer than the previous version, the mechanics are not.
