i did the same yesterday, my issue is two guys on here have had issues with engines finished with no oil, but the oil light did not come on! i agree that you should never rely on the light, but surely it is there for that purpose, what happens if you have a leaking pipe as you are driving? weird

its hard to say if the car is using excessive amount, as I have only had the car for about 2 weeks, but once I carry out the oil service, I will be checking on a regular basis. again im not scared of the high mileage, but what does scare me where oil has dropped considerably and ruined the engine, what the does the ?? Oil light do??

Thanks Gambit, my car has done 185k but has always been serviced regularly on time. there are no car leaks or burning oil etc, but I think the 2.5 drinks oil when driven hard, my problem is if i drive like an oldman, in normal tiptronic/auto I average 22mpg, but if Idrive it hard in sports, I get 21mpg, no brainer really. The service on the car is not due until july, but I have decided to change oil and filter now and then every 6k.

Ok thanks, just ordered millers nano 5w30. had to top up oil today, been driving in sports mode, I think this engine oil needs checking weekly.

haha.lol just been looking at service history/ invoices from previous owner, the last oil used was 10w40, the car has done 185k, i was thinking of millers nano 5w30 but not sure now. any suggestions?

I think I am looking at £25 for the cover, I am sure I can change it a bit. I need the cover as i need to leave my walking boots in car.lol

Gosh thats expensive, cost more than my car.lol I may look at getting some black plastic fabric and some black elastic wire. regarding the oil, I think I will try the millers 5w30 nano from opie. cheers

thats great gambit, thanks any ideas on this... anyone know who is selling a rectractable boot cover, searched everywhere no luck, will a 2000 MY do the job? also the service is not due for another 5 months, but can i use 5w30 magnatec? i intend to change oil every 6k niaz
