How To Top Up Your Cars Engine Oil - Castrol & Quentin Willson

[Stakan1]

The engine oil should be at max if you check it before you start your car in the morning (or when it is completely cold). The heat of the motor doesn't really matter, it's just that when you've driven it, a lot of oil will be in the channels and on the camshafts and really allover in the engine itself. The dip stick goes into your oil pan which means that if you are driving, there will be less oil in the pan and more in the engine. When it's cold, most of the oil will have fallen back.

i wana ask that should the oil be checked in cool engine like early in morning or after starting the car for few mints...?

[TheStevenWhiting]

@naveed5391 Cool as far as I'm aware or it will be to hot to take the cap off.

[TheStevenWhiting]

@naveed5391 My post didn't seem to post.  I stand corrected, looking at the 5th Gear vid looks like best to check when it's a little warm.

Also Mercedes don't have dipsticks, you have to get it serviced by Mercedes, that way they make more money!

Informative but slightly biased towards Castrol, even if it is rather good

I always thought engine oil lasted forever like the oil in gearboxes. Man, this sux. :|

[capricious71]

As if Quentin Wilson cares about CO2 emissions. Look what he's driving. :)

lol - "You don't have to be Stephen Hawking"

How could Stephen Hawking check engine oil?

[PocketDrummer]

@EchoPark69 In a thought experiment.

[amolthakre]

If you were Stephen Hawking you can't do it and probably you don't even need to.
