My oil light came on en route to Heathrow on Tue, not getting back until half sixish tonight and the local BMW dealer closes at six. Can anyone lend me a litre of Castrol Edge 10W60 near heathrow. Have a 2 hour drive home and don't want to do it with oil light on. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!!

'Extremely High' is a term I would use for oil. Make sure you are re-setting your gauge properly, you don't want to put too much in. My light came on showing 0.1L, thought this was wrong, so re-set & showed 0.6L. Tells you in the manual how to do this. Also get yourself on M6Board.com. Hope you are enjoying your new car.

I get through a litre every 1200 to 1500 miles depending on how I drive the car. Track day it will be a LOT more steady motorway driving a lot less.
