Normally after you top up, let the engine run awhile then check the oil level.
Is the floor below your park vehicle have lots of oil stain?
Is the engine area coated with black oil around the seals/joints?
==> minor/major leaking
If no visible stain, try this:
start engine and idle for 15-20min
ram the accelerator hard (gear is at P!!!)
have someone observe the exhaust.
If lots of WHITE smoke, then engine oil is leaking internally INTO the engine
==> suspect valve seals or other type of internal seals worn
==> go to any of the site sponsors for diagnosis and servicing
If none of the above, are you driving a V12 engine????????

I think you should go measure the engine oil volume. Should be overfilled ....

What's do you mean ' should be overfilled ' ? I top up the engine oil because the triangle yellow displayed engine oil +1L left

No, I top up about half first and later the engine oil screen still shown half so I top up finished it. Strange thing is that I've checked the floor there isn't any leak after 4hrs parked

Lets say worst case its the n46. It's oil capacity is about 4.5l max.
It has a safety for minimum oil level to start the engine which is usually around 60mm. Typically at 74mm it's full.
When the indicator is at minimum - pour in 1L.
In all scenarios - 4L in total is quite excessive. Overfilled by now.
The idea is to maintain 4.5L max if it's an n46.

It uses capacitance. Accuracy is dependent on conditions.

Should be code N46
