Not sure if this new car blow by.
We use to get our oil changed every 3K miles years ago, so checking to see if the oil is low, was never a big deal.

Now, with oil changes every 15K (crazy..) lots of folks are driving around town two quarts low just waiting for the light to come on.

Check the oil level every 2,500 miles and then change it every 5K...IMHO.

Picture of my new 2006 X5...
