Bought 2 of Castrol Edge 5W30M oils and headed down to a local indy as I didn't fancy jacking up and doing the work. (my trusted old indy had retired from doing mechanical work during Covid, so still on the hunt for a good mechanic, recommendations welcome)

On the ramp for the oil change.

I only ended up putting in about 6.3L as I do remember with these cars (or at least the F10) that you would get an oil overfilled warning if the oil is at max and the DPF dumps any more fuel in.
6.3L made it near the MAX line, like around 90% mark.
Love the rear lights on the 6 series. Was one of my favourite parts of the F10 I had. Having driven the 6 series for a couple of weeks now, definitely a better drive, especially in the corners. But, I'd say overall, the F10 is still the best car I've owned.
