How often do you top up your Beemer

[Nattsg]

Just a rough gauge, please post your regular top up intervals:

1.) Engine Oil
2.) Coolant
3.) ATF

Provided the following is ok:

• No leaking that you can see below your car
• its a beemer
• below 5 years old in SG

I just topped up my coolant by around 600ml during my routine inspections, and 1 litre of engine oil recently too when the car warning came up. For now, i have had the habit to physically check at least the lot floor when I drive off, havent spotted any spots to indicate leakages yet.

Engine oil: 1 ltr every 8000km
Coolant: never needed to top up.
ATF: at 40,000 km

Re: How often do you top up your Beemer

1. Engine oil change every 10k km (never need to top up)
2. Coolant - none (I always flush the radiator once a year, its cheap)
3. ATF - change ATF at 30k km, ATF plus filter pan at alternate 30k km. Done this to my previous E60 since day 1 until 8 years old before sold off, gearbox nvr have any issues.

TS, when u check the floor before drive off is not required ...

if there is leaks means big problem.. remember we have a pan and cover beneath our engine bay.

Have you sent your car for servicing yet? The workshop should be able to detect coolant leaks from its stains on other parts in the engine bay.
