Here's what you can do when you see this symbol:
1. Check Oil Level: Open your car's hood and locate the oil dipstick. Pull it out, wipe it clean, then reinsert it and pull it out again. The oil level should be between the "full" and "add" marks on the dipstick.
2. Add Oil if Necessary: If the oil level is low, you can add oil to the recommended level. Refer to your BMW owner's manual for the correct type of oil and amount.
3. Check for Oil Leaks: Look under your car for any signs of oil dripping or pooling. If you notice any leaks, have your vehicle inspected by a professional as soon as possible.
4. Reset the Warning Light: Once you've confirmed the oil level is within the recommended range and any oil leaks have been addressed, you can reset the warning light. Typically, you can do this by turning the ignition to the "on" position for a few seconds without starting the engine, then turning it off.
If the oil level is adequate and the warning light persists or reappears shortly after resetting, it's recommended to have your vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic to identify any potential issues.
