The 2008 BMW X5 is equipped with a digital system for checking oil levels, eliminating the traditional dipstick. This can be accessed through the vehicle's infotainment menu by navigating to "Vehicle Info" and then selecting "Vehicle Status". Under the "oil level" option, users can view a status indicator for the oil levels. This feature is being incorporated into more cars to assist those unfamiliar with checking oil, providing a user-friendly experience. Regularly checking the oil level, especially after past concerns regarding the BMW oil starving engine, is recommended to ensure prompt action if oil is needed.
The oil dipstick for the 2008 BMW X5 can be found on the right side of the engine, just below it.
