Hoping someone could help with my problem
Last week my oil light came on. I checked the level but it was really difficult to see. I topped up with 1/2L of 5-30w. But the oil light was still on. thought i may have over filled. So i drained, changed the filter and topped up with 3litres. I read in my hand book that it should take 3.4litres.( I have 1.4l petrol 2002) but thought i would see how things went. i drove home from work which is about an hours drive and oil light is still coming on. So put in another 1/5L. Didn't change anything, however the light is only on when engine revs over 1200rpm. It all seems a bit strange. I have tried to look at the dip stick but just can't tell what the level is. All i know for sure is that i only put in 3litres.
Please help. thanks
