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.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/MC-10186212-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/MC-10186212-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/10186212","components":[{"id":"engine","name":"Engine","parent":null},{"id":"equipment","name":"Equipment and accessories","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.
