350 Russ Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 your all gonna have a good laugh at me but i just went to check the oil on my z and it was a bit low so i topped it up went to check the dipstick again and still a bit low so a bit more oil, check the dipstick again and theres no obvious reading! theres a thin line of oil all the way down the dipstick! im just thinking that when i pulled it out the last time that oil got up the tube for the dipstick but now i dont have a clue how much more to put in, its there or there abouts but its just frustrating! anyone else had this?

ZMANALEX Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 When you are new to the Zed the dipstick can be a bit fiddly. Let it sit for an hour to settle down and you should get an accurate reading. Best time to check the oil is after the car has been sitting all night.

Trev-the-Rev Posted December 3, 2009 Share Posted December 3, 2009 Yep give it plenty of time to settle and you'll get an accurate reading. As a guide, the min to max level is about a litre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
