I have a lot of traveling to do this weekend before I leave for Vegas on Sunday. Should I be concerned? Should I head over to the dealer in the a.m?
Or should I just buy oil and do it myself?

My commute to work is 70k one way. I don't want to have car troubles on the highway, yk?

Any advice/tips would be appreciated.

Check your oil level to see if there is indeed a problem. Do not just trust the oil sensor. On mine I get this message from time to time and every time my oil level is ok. Actually it happened twice right after an oil change. I got the oil sensor changed but I still get this message every so often.

If the dipstick (England, not sure what you call it in USA) is not fully pushed in/down, then you can lose anbout 1qt/50miles. The oil is obviously coming out of the tube, but it's not that messy as it disapears under the car right away. So, I suggest refill to full, check the dipstick is fully in, and see what happens!!

I would check your owners manual....I would for you right now but I don't have my E53 anymore, and the E70 may use a different type.
