What is the oil capacity for N55 engine?

MyCorvette · 10-25-2010, 03:43 PM

I searched for quite a while and found out people normally say 7 qt., and N55 and N54 are the same capacity.

From N54 3-series manual it clearly prints out that 6.9 qt. is the exact number.

I can not find any description regarding engine oil change in my 2011 1-series owner's manual. Does anybody here know what is the exact number for the 2011 135i engine oil capacity? Is it the same 6.9 qt.?

For the N54 it is: 6.9 quarts = 6.5 liters

I am sure the N55 engine holds the same.

I guess no one else has replied/posted bc they do not change their own oil like I do! lol
