How to check the engine oil level of the BMW 1 Series

Model: BMW Serie 1 MK 2, F20, F21 - Years 2011-2019
Part: Checks and maintenance

Today's steps will show us how to check the engine oil level of the BMW 1 Series without having to open the hood and pull the dipstick. First, we get into the cockpit and start the instrument panel; then we go to the settings of the on-board computer menu and then to the vehicle information and status section, as shown in the video. At this point, we check that the oil level is consistent by measuring it and waiting a few minutes; if we find the level is low, we will need to top it up.

To bleed the clutch on a Renault Clio, open the bonnet to access the components located in the engine bay: here, you will need to undo the screws that secure the battery in its housing, the intake manifold, and the coolant reservoir. This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
