So if that statement is true, then our first fill can be Castrol LL.If you ask me, I say you should be alright running few bars below because the engine designers have factored in a safety margin of +1L. Below which, you should seriously top it up ASAP or might as well do an oil change like what I practice all these while. I'm running 0.25L short after every intermediate oil change because I only pour in 4L instead of the specified 4.25L for my 4-potter E90. Yet, I see full bar on the indicator (even after I ran it for weeks) and by the time my +1L warning illuminated, I would be between 8k to 10k km traveled and just nice for an oil change. I am not worried a bit and I don't think u should.. :wink:</blockquote>
