Model Year 23/24 Oil Level

[LimbWarrior]

Hello all,

My Formentor flagged as needing to top up the oil, I got some new oil all ready to do it but when I did the dipstick this was the result.. looks fine to me? But I am not an expert with cars!
Any thoughts or advice?

Maybe add 250ml to bring it a bit further up. I have a 1.5 and tend to keep it towards max as it does burn a little oil over several thousands miles.

Thanks John! I topped it up with a few glugs of oil.

I have a 1.5 as well, had a nightmare at the start as it was using a litre of oil a month.. eventually diagnosed as needing a new engine

With 0w20s, that's pretty much where it needs to be on a cold engine. Topping up to the "MAX" mark can lead to "oil level over full" error messages on the dash.
