Got a 1.4 16v
Just been back down and stuck 1 and a half litres in it. Sounds healthier:thumbs:

I did that and there was only a small amount on it. I better not start the engine again incase I break it. Better get my dad to check it later.

(IT WAS MY FIRST TIME:lol: )

Wipe the dipstick then put it back in and even if it is clear you should be able to see the wet bit.

Just changed my oil. Did a pro job and all and use castrol oil to refil. Now I put quite a bit in and started the engine. Oil light went off after a few seconds. Put a little more in. Oil light comes back on.

Check dipstick and because it's new oil it is clear. How on earth do I know how much is in there? Ta very much:):(
