If the new or remanufactured replacement engine is started to determine electronically if the engine is filled with the appropriate amount of engine oil, damage to the replacement engine can occur immediately. The engine may have some residual engine oil from assembly, but this is not enough engine oil to properly lubricate the engine to measure the engine oil level electronically when it is started for the first time. Further, the electronic engine oil measurement is only operational when the engine is running at its full operating temperature. Checking the engine oil without the engine running at operating temperature will lead to an incorrect or incomplete measurement.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2015/MC-10147159-9999.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2015/MC-10147159-0001.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10147159","components":[{"id":"engine","name":"Engine","parent":null}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"BMW","model":"BMW","year_from":null,"year_to":null,"match":null,"vehicle_ids":[]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
