F10 Oil Top Up
Discussion
The F10 likes to drink a bit of oil and the top ups are part of the service inclusive package, but (unlike Porsche) the dealer won't give me an additional litre bottle to leave in the boot of the car so that I'm not caught out (e.g. if it's mid-week and I just don't have time to get to the dealer for a few days). So I've reluctantly bought some myself. Just wondered what others have done about this - it's not big money, but I just begrudge paying for oil which ought to be included and when I know that Porsche do it without even being asked!
Really? You have a new M5 and you're moaning about £20 for a bottle of OIL?
I have an RS4, and the litre top up pack is on the invoice I pay at service time. I am sure that I also used to pay when I had the Porsche.
Is it just me that expects to pay for a bottle of top up oil at service time? Always have!

In my experience they only top up when the car says 'top up required', if the oil is low but not low enough to set off the 'top up required' they won't top it up. This may vary from dealer to dealer but that's the line from my dealer.
My dealer says the same thing. They plug the car's key into their computer to check for the top up message. The oil top up is obviously only part of the service inclusive package, but I'm finding it a bit of a waste of time because I tend to need a top up when using the car in the week and don't have time to go to a dealer.just had the running in service done, and they have put a fresh litre bottle in the boot for me, there was one there when i collected the car too. Cooper say its part of he service inclusive package, so I'd argue that one.
How will you know exactly when you will need a litre? you need it in the boot. Even comes with a rubber pouch thing with a bag in that velcros to the carpet on he side of the boot.

As noted included in service pack.
But I have been into two different dealers same day oil light came on. Both times they took the key fob, plugged it into their system and it didn't come up as oil req'd so they refused to supply.
Toys were thrown out of pram and now don't bother wasting my time.
