Oil low

Post by rooney1000 » Sun Nov 10, 2013 5:31 pm

Hi

Noticed my oil is at the minimum in the MMI today (after long journey).

I know that this will sound silly but before I go-ahead I thought it best I check !!

I am going to buy Mobil 1 5W/30 as per this link: http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stor ... yId_165581

Is that OK to use ?

Second question, do i just add 500ml and then check MMI again and see if it registers. Is it instant or do I need to start the car and wait ?

Many thanks

It meets the 504.00 specification so should be fine.

As you are showing the level at the minimum, adding 0.5 litres in one go should be fine.

Check again after 2 minutes after adding oil (without starting).

How much oil do your engines use roughly?
