Oil light
Posted: Wed Sep 06, 2017 9:50 pm
Hey folks, been a while!
My oil light dropped a notch below full the other day. Likely 4000 miles since my last oil change a year ago.
Topped up maybe a quarter L, then noticed a day later it hadn't shifted so put a bit more in, thinking maybe I was on the edge of a quarter before or whatever - so maybe put in 0.75 tops which looking back was technically too much.
Anyhoo, next time I could test....still not moved so I've not added more this time.
It's a 20i, so it was 4.5L on last oil change - any ideas why it's not moving? Don't want to add more in case the sensor is telling fibs, but ideally don't want to do a full oil change right now (though it was 12 months ago I guess).
