The sensor has nothing to do with oil not coming out of the drain plugs.

I think his point was that the car was maybe critically low on oil but the sensor failed to warn about it. It did apparently sense an overfill, however.

Maybe OP really did just removed 1 drain plug and was too embarrassed to admit it after coming and making this post.

I really don't see how cranking the engine a couple of times will "release" the remaining 7 quarts. How can 7 quarts be magically trapped somewhere?

You just got to shake it loose, you know?

Maybe op did one drain plug and one skid plate bolt. Lol

You guys obviously aren't running the latest M preferred oil, I suggest you get on board...

If 7L of oil was lost over the winter for some reason, he would have seen a flooded garage or leakage elsewhere, but none of that was reported. Writing around midnight half-asleep doesn't help.

I knew something was up with the way he was describing his situation- sounding all captains log like, speaking in partial sentences. I knew something was off!

OP jk I hope your car's alright. Keep us posted
