<Flame suit on> Oil question...

Yanto · 09-05-2010, 03:34 PM

Guys

My tech knowledge is piss poor at best....so bear with me....

Oil level is showing +0.5..

Last oil change was Inspection 2 in Feb last year, and have only done c. 4K miles since...

Should I book in for an oil change before the trip at e/o May, should I simply top up or will this be fine as is and I'll book in on return ?

Cheers

Just top it up a bit, unless you've done those 4K on track.

+0.5 - I wouldn't top it up, that's fine.

I go along with that Rich, mine was at +0.5l when the engine blew !!

oil level will read 0.1 to 1.1 but if it reads 1.1 it could be over filled as the reading on the display maxs out at 1.1

Hope this helps
