The other day I checked my engine's oil level. First I checked it using the OBC that is accessed via the turn signal stalk. Much to my surprise the reading said 3/4 full. Then I checked it using the iDrive. The iDrive says the oil level is full. I tend to believe my iDrive because my car has never burned oil and there is no oil on the floor in my garage or on the garage floor at work.

I just recently had this happen. I didn't add oil, because I was approaching my oil change. I find that my car takes 6.5 quarts to read full (capacity is 7). At no point did any warning come on, so I'm not worried about it.
