What should I look for when checking the oil level in my BMW X1?

I recently bought a used BMW X1 and want to make sure my oil level is correct. What are some things I should pay attention to when checking the oil level?

When checking your oil level, make sure the car has been turned off for at least 10 minutes to get an accurate reading. Additionally, check the color and consistency of the oil. If it appears dark or thick, it may be time for an oil change.

Another important thing to check is the oil dipstick. Wipe it clean, reinsert it, and then remove it again to get an accurate reading. If the oil level is below the minimum mark, it's important to add more oil as soon as possible.

If you notice the oil level is consistently low, it may be a sign of a leak. Take your car to a mechanic to get it checked out and repaired if necessary.
