Supra786 Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 My engine oil sign came up yesterday and so I went to check my oil level and as anticipated it was on the low level so I topped it up with a litre of Silkolene Pro S 5w40. Just wanted to know will this be okay until my service scheduled for next week? As was gonna get an oil and filter change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supra786 Posted June 8, 2009 Author Share Posted June 8, 2009 better with than without oil:D if you previus oil was the same i believe its ok. I've always used Silkolene Pro S 5w40 but wanted to know if I should top it up some more or will a litre do for now till next week, cos I will be getting the oil and filter changed then. Is there a minimum level it should be at out of necessity? A bit concerned as do not want to damage the engine for a couple litres of oil.

nigelboyne Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 what mileage are you doing oil changes at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSK Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 personally i'd not let the engine oil drop below the minimum marker at least. ANy cars that I have had where they use oil (BMWs), I've always ensure they are near or on the maximum marker on the dipstick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
