Sounds good. I would wait for cutting notches until next oil change, Only to be sure

Strange, that no one else have some experience with this, I would like to read other opinions on this.

Addendum. The information in the WIS differs from the information in XENTRY. The WIS describes how to switch off the engine and then measure the oil level: 22 to 47 mm. This is also available in XENTRY under LIVE DATA, but with the engine running. When the engine is switched off, the values are 56 to 74 mm.

But all values supposedly only with the M120 oil dipstick. But that doesn't fit either, I've tried it. Now I have filled in 8 liters of oil and measured it with a universal dipstick: 110 mm from the bottom of the oil pan (i was so wrong). Live Data then shows 67 mm within the target values between 56 and 74 mm, which is roughly the middle.

So the measured height between Min and Max is between 101 and 119 mm from the bottom of the oil pan. So that you can remember it better: Between 100 and 120 mm while engine stopped.
