yikes, dealer overfilled oil. found out after driving for 7400 miles

[Jeg Norge]

hi so i took the car in for it's first bmw free oil change (im in toronto, canada). 7,400 miles (12,000 kms) later, i decided to do a DIY oil change. i had done it twice before the first bmw free oil change. after i drained the oil i measured how much came out. i couldn't believe it. over 8 qts (7.75 L) of oil came out. WTF??? it should only take 7 qts (6.5 - 6.6L of oil for the 2009 30i engine.

before i drained the oil i checked the onboard computer and it said oil OK. after i did my DIY oil change it still said oil level OK. is the digital dipstick actually operational?

frankly im a little worried. how should i bring this up to my dealer? i dont want them to instead give me BS about "oh you can't DIY oil changes..." well, seems like the dealer hires monkeys to change oil on clients' cars. i'm a little disappointed.

advice? thanks.

Look on the bright side... At least you know your X5 is not 'burning oil'

Sorry, I'm not familiar enough with the 3.0 gas engine to know whether an extra quart puts the top of the oil above a safe level in the crank case w.r.t. piston travel etc.

Must have reduced the oil pan capacity on the E70s; my '01 3.0 takes 8 qts
every time.
I wouldn't sweat it.
