Oil reading

[CraigMillwardCroft]

After a day going round Silverstone oil level read .6 all day, changed car back to road settings and tyres on the way home level goes to ----. so stopped put half a litre of oil in to be safe still no reading until half way home then read 1.1, is this normal for the electronics to f*** up

Mine sometimes does this,if it was +6 all day I wouldn't have put any in,but I think you should still be ok with .5 of a litre.I wouldn't put any more in though.If your really worried take the air box off and check the dipstick.

Thanks for the info, I ran the car last year on 1.1 and it all seemed okay, nice to hear other cars have the proble too.

The trouble is Craig 1.1 is the highest reading,so if there is too much in there you wont know. I try to keep mine around .9 so you know where you are.

i wouldnt track it at 1.1 but then again csl oil digital readings suck.... like B said take air box off to be sure.

---- just means unable to get a reading, normal to get this on a trackday and for it to sort itself out later.
