Hellraiser 1 Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 How long do you have to wait to check the oil level after the ignition is turned off?So, I wait for about 15 mins to check it, and find the level 2 mm below the minimum.I'm a little bit scared, so I fill it to about 1 mm under the max.I put the car into the garage, and the next day I take a look again at the level, and suddenlyit's about 3-4 cm's above the max... *-) Ow, and how much oil should there go in? is it 5 liters without the filter change and 6 including?Thanks!

Ciaran 4 Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 u plum wait till your car is stone cold so all the oil is all settled and then check the level and top it up to high. Never do it when your car is warm as it gives a false indication as the oil is stuck all over the internals of the engine and not settled in the sump.The engine takes 6 litres but just check it as u top it up Link to post Share on other sites
Hellraiser 1 Posted September 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 The manual said to check after a few minutes when the engine was still warm... *-) Link to post Share on other sites

Hellraiser 1 Posted September 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 If it's warm it's below the minimum, and when it's cold, it's just under the max. *-) Link to post Share on other sites

mannie 0 Posted September 26, 2007 Report Share Posted September 26, 2007 If it's under the Max and above the Min mark when cold is ok .VR do use oil so it is good to check your oil level once a week. Link to post Share on other sites
