joe_manchester Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 please tell me off if this has been posted else where. just curious, as always. im wondering how often i should have to top up engine oil? I had the car serviced by VW for the 60K and timing belt. it wasnt cheap. They changed the oil etc and there has been no problems. This was at the start of feb. i have now had to top up the oil this weekend as it was low and the light came on. I do check the oil regulary but was wondering if its normal use or is the engine using too much oil? the car had done 64K at the service and has now done 66k so im not doing more that 1k a month. just wondering if the car is using to much oil or does this sound normal? cheers lads and lass' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tobes49 Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 You should check the oil level weekly, If the red oil can light comes on then this means you have no oil pressure (it not a low level light) I'm sure VW give figures of 1.5liters per 1000 miles should be the maximum. Check and top the oil upto the maxium (with the car on flat ground) Keep checking the oil and see how much it using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
