Note: the car was at 100% 'til now.
So the question is, should I bother to top it off (and if so w/ what - e.g. BMW synth 5W-30??) or wait 'til the regularly scheduled time (when they'll do all of that and more). I continue to monitor it either way.
Thanks,

No, don`t bother to top it off..........the system tells you the level is whit in save margins (OK=OK !), also the system tells you when to add oil and in what amount.
If the level is low a yellow oil warning light will light up, it warns you you to add some oil ( most cases 1Liter), the I drive will show it also on screen.
Constantly monitoring is what the system will do automatically, you just drive and enjoy the ride..........
