I keep adding engine oil on my 2006 BMW 530i, engine has no leaking. Any help?

Your engine is controlled by the PCM. The idle can be adjusted by entering the computer system using INPA with a K+DCan cable, or the BMW diagnostic system. If by chance it's too high, look for a vacuum leak. Generally speaking if you are careful, you can use a can of carb cleaner (carefully) by spraying a small amount at a time near the vacuum hoses and the intake manifold of a vehicle to find the leak. As the carb cleaner is drawn into the engine the car will change idle speed to help you zero in on any leaks. Too low then there must be a fuel/air issue and you should have a code present. Good luck:)

Look for the location where the gasket is leaking. Get someone to remove it and replace it. This is affordable if you buy a new gasket at a local auto store and get someone to do it. The real problem here is that your leak is so significant that you need to be constantly checking and adding oil or you will ruin your entire engine.

Try changing the oil (probably due) and then cleaning the area of the filter and the plug and also clean the plug off as well sometimes people carelessly change oil and don't clean it and,leave something on the surface and the filter or plug does not seal and then leaks. Place a flattened box underneath after and see if and where it is leaking. If all else fails try bars stop leak

Replace tumbler.

you are prob. going to have to rebuild the motor .the motor is burning the oil . or you have a cooling prob. try engine flush and cooling systom flush .

Thermostat, cooling fan, fan relay, water pump, coolant leak.

THe microfilter is just the filter. The oil filter is available off the shelf at advance auto parts. It's the original equipment German brand, "Mann". It's about $12.00. The price of $300 you were quoted is more the range for a transmission oil change, not engine oil.

Don't be confused about the word"microfilter". Again, it just means the filter, same as any other car.

Hi,
Hi,
First thank you for help me for this problem.
I have 2004 530i bmw. mileage 118,250. The check engine (increased emissions) comes on after I serviced windshield washer.
Is there anybody run into this problem?

STP won't stop the leak, only disassembling and replacing the seal. However, the car could be burning oil but the catalytic converter will complete the combustion of the 'smoke' to water (H2O) and Carbon Dioxide (CO2).

At 230,000 KM, I wouldn't be surprised that the rings are worn or the valve seals are leaking internally.

Common oil leaking areas on that engine is the plastic lid on the oil filter,and the gasket in between the oil filter adapter and the engine block.I would suggest you take it to a qualified shop and have them diagnose the oil leak.
