Mistral Posted yesterday at 10:03 AM Share Posted yesterday at 10:03 AM I seek advice regarding a recent experience. I undertook a 240-mile journey, and five miles from home, the low oil pressure warning illuminated on the dashboard for ten seconds before extinguishing. The vehicle continued to operate normally without any unusual noises. This morning, it is functioning without any warning lights. I lack service history for the car, so I am unaware of the last service date. I plan to change the oil and filter today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDudette Posted yesterday at 10:03 AM Share Posted yesterday at 10:03 AM Did you verify the oil level? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistral Posted yesterday at 10:04 AM Author Share Posted yesterday at 10:04 AM The oil level is adequate; nevertheless, the oil appears excessively dark and thin, suggesting it has not been changed for an extended period. A service appointment is scheduled for Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrvesBMW Posted yesterday at 10:04 AM Share Posted yesterday at 10:04 AM The few instances in which I have observed the N47 producing that error, despite an adequate oil level, occur when the oil has not been changed for an extended period, resulting in sludge accumulation. I do not wish to be pessimistic, but it often did not take long until the bearings failed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistral Posted yesterday at 10:05 AM Author Share Posted yesterday at 10:05 AM Will it continue to operate effectively despite the spun bearings? Do you not believe that the servicing on Friday will be beneficial? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistral Posted yesterday at 10:05 AM Author Share Posted yesterday at 10:05 AM The warning is currently absent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
