If you have a low oil warning, you are probably -1 litre of oil. So add in a litre of motor oil.

Use washer fluid. It's not that hard to find.

I was told when I picked up my X5 3.0d it could need a top up of oil before the first service and just to return to the dealer and they would do it for me free of charge. To date I haven't had to take them up on this but I'm still a long way from the 1st service having only gone about 3000km.
