What a silly thing to do AND Oil Help

[M1KEH]

No just top it up so its halfway inbetween the max and min marks. SHould only be 3/4 of a litre i'd reckon

o right thanks mate its on min at the moment though.
Should i stop driving it until i pick the oil up tomorrow?

And thanks for all the help mike

If you can see oil on the dipstick and its on the min and not below then driving it now should not be a problem, but i wouldnt go driving it hard.

theres oil on the dipstick but that doesnt neccessarily mean its on the min does it??
theres like a textured section in the middle of the dipstick and 2 small cut out bits iirc
i take it it needs to be between the two bits and in the middle of the textured section

Yeah thats right

10w40 oil as recommended in the owners manual for most/all models.

Im running castol gtx magnatec stuff and have had no problems.

The coolant you used should be fine although I never use anything bar the G12 stuff you get from the dealer.

Full oil change shouldnt take you more than about 40 mins tops - My ham fisted attempts at an oil/filter change took four hours including a constant supply of tea from my mates mum, a trip to the seaside for ice cream and the mangleing of one oil filter
