Oil

[d_dan]

wheredo I put oil in my car?I got a warning light so I bought a liter of oil and put it in the boot but the light stays on.what the shizzle is that about?

1) are you sure it's the oil light that came on?

2) are you sure you put the oil where it's supposed to go?

3) did you check the dipstick after putting 1l oil in?




would it be the orange light at the right hand side by any chance?

It is definitely the oil light.I put the oil in the boot because there was no room in the glove box,I don't know what a dipstick is and it was a red light of an oil can

On FTO's you have to be more specific about where you put the oil in the car.
It has to go in the engine for the light to go off.

Robbed from ehow.com:

Step1 Check the oil when the engine is warm. Oil expands when it's hot and contracts when it's cold. Different temperatures will give you different readings.

Step2 Park the car on a level surface.

Step3Turn off the engine.

Step4Pull the hood release lever under the dashboard.

Step5 Walk around the front of the car, reach under the hood, find the latch and squeeze it. As you squeeze the latch, open the hood.

Step6 Find the dipstick, a long piece of metal sticking out of the engine with a loop at one end, usually located near the spark plugs.

Step7Pull on the loop and draw the dipstick all the way out.

Step8 Wipe the oil off the dipstick with a paper towel or shop rag.

Step9 Replace the clean dipstick, making sure to push it all the way in, then pull it back out and hold it horizontally in front of you.

Step10 Look at the pointy end of the dipstick. If the oil on the dipstick is below the line marked "full," add a small amount of oil (less than a quarter of a quart) with a funnel. Many dipsticks simply have 2 lines with a cross hatch design in between. The oil level should be halfway between these 2 lines.

Step11 Add the oil by unscrewing the oil filler cap, which is about 3 inches in diameter and located on the very top of the engine.

Step12Check the oil level with the dipstick after adding oil. Add more if
necessary. It's easier to add more oil, but fairly difficult to remove oil if you add too much.

Step13Put the oil filler cap back on and secure it tightly

Yes but Colm you're forgetting one huge detail, you have to unscrew the little cap in the oil tank to put the oil in or else it just gets all over the place.

Are you pulling the piss Dan?

You "put the oil in the boot because there was no room in the glove box"??
WTF has that got to do with anything?

For those who mightnt be familiar with the imperial measurements that approx. 75mm or 7.5cm.

Lads he are all legendsjust one more thing.I got to step six but I don't know what a spark plug is.I don't see anything that looks like a plug.but it now makes sense that the oil will be more useful out of the can.I still can't find the dipshit but my girlfriend or mum will help me.thanks again.

Dan - NOI here but how can you talk about aftermarket ECU's, uprated fuel pumps, FPR and intercoolers etc and not know where to put your oil or check your oil using a "dipstick" or not know what a spark plug is?
