The video above shows you how to add oil to your 2017 BMW i3. Before adding oil to your i3, make sure that your engine was cold and that your car was parked on a level surface when you checked the oil level otherwise you won't be able to tell if your i3 has a low oil level. For most BMWs, if your oil level is at the minimum mark on your dipstick, you should add about a quart of oil. If you are unsure how much oil to add to your i3, add a little bit at a time and check your dipstick frequently. This video shows you where the oil fill cap is located on your i3 and how to add oil.
