yes I have the manual, but like to talk to my car friends here
I have the N54 and now I know where I can add. I just have to turn/open the square lip in the middle. I just talked to the dealer and told me they added the Castrol 5w-30 when the oil was changed in Feb. Can you mix oil ratings? like if I add 0w-40 or should I just add what is in there? Thanks,

I don't trust the e-level until I have been driving the car for an hour or so. I find that after the engine oil heats up(and expands) the oil level is more accurate. Quote:
I would say you need to change the engine oil at least twice per year. On our direct injected engines the engine oil really gets black and starts to break down. An oil change is far cheaper than changing the vanous or internal engine parts. Change you oil!! Dackel

Just a little food for thought for anyone thinking of going with a cheap non OEM oil filter...
