School boy error.

I haven't checked my oil levels for a while and thought it sounded a bit rough, so checked the dip stick and it was clean as a whistle not a drop of oil on it

Luckily I seem to have caught it in time before I did some serious damage, but it is going for a full check up tomorrow to make sure, I haven't done any damage.

WHAT A MUPPET

I thought an oil warning light would have let you know before it got to this stage?

You'd think wouldn't you, it sounded rough as fuck and I knew something wasn't right, think I was very lucky cause I have topped it up and it sounds so quiet again now.

Going to do an oil and filter change the weekend after I have had it checked over but can't believe nothing was showing on the dash to warn me

Apparently it does drink oil, but I would have thought it wouldn't have drank the sump dry?? thats why I am sending it in to be checked as there is no oil spot in my garage or drive so it deffinatly isn't leaking out any where

Honda actully advise (so I was told and I think it's in the handbook) that you check oil levels once a week :S I'm sure once a fortnight would suffice though - that's what I did anyhow
