In this video, we can see where the engine oil cap is located in a BMW X3, useful in case we need to top off the oil. As shown, the cap is positioned at the top of the engine, right in the center of the plastic cover. This vehicle does not have a dipstick; the level can instead be checked through the onboard computer.

To top off, first ensure the engine is cool enough, then unscrew the cap, insert a funnel into the hole, and add the necessary amount of oil to reach the maximum level.
