HELP ......OEM STRUT BRACE

I have checked my oil level once a month since buying the car 7 months ago and the oil level hasn't budged yet. In the same time period my girlfriends 1.6 litre astra has got through about 5 litres :o

i have never had to add oil to my car outside it service interval.. so sure this would be fine.

Also its like a 10 minute job to remove 6 bolts and torque them up properly after..... not the end of the world shoulod you need to add oil.

its not as much as that cause the strut top pieces can stay in place only need to remove the bar bit 4x 13 mm nuts and away you go :driving:

How often do you need to top up the oil? My ///M has used no oil at all in the last 15,000 miles

Really???? That doesn't sound right to me. How often do you check it?

Initially checked it weekly, then monthly, now whenever I remember...usually if I'm doing something else under the bonnet. Never used a drop, even when thrashing the pants off it on the track :D
 
doofus4000, Can't speak for the OEM one specifically, but my Strong Strut Brace and Firewall Braces made a noticable improvement! :thumbsup:
Others on here speak highly of it e.g. Beedub.
