how many miles have you done on your car? i was assuming it was around 10K, if its used all the oil up in 10K then you've got a problem. | |

matt. on the dipstick there was no oil. hence it was low. so all i have done is ill it back up untill i can afford a service, then once i can afford one i take it in.. | |

what i have done is gone n bought some 10 W 40 Castrol oil (improved) and topped it up. then wen i get enough money for a service they can empty this and replace wiv there stuff. and do the filter ect ect. | |

take the sump plug out let all the oil drain out then change the filter then top it back up checking on the dipstick until there is enough will take you no longer than 20 minutes:thumbs: | |
