mylesmcg Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 I changed the oil about 6000 miles ago and the oil light flickered yesterday. Is is this normal? Quote
Stew Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 Nope. Do you regularly check the oil? Did it just flicker momentarily? If the oil light comes on in a Zed it's BAD news. It actually means that the oil pump is starved. Quote
rtbiscuit Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 if the car is running well it should use any oil up, i've gone 9000 miles without ever having to top mine up. but you do need to check it every week. or 2 weeks at the most. if that light comes on it could be expensive. Quote
Trev-the-Rev Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 You haven't checked the oil for 6000 miles Quote
Zazur Posted January 24, 2010 Posted January 24, 2010 You haven't checked the oil for 6000 miles What Trev-the-Rev says Quote
mylesmcg Posted January 25, 2010 Author Posted January 25, 2010 the light just flickered. why would it use up all the oil? what could be wrong? i had a spare litre of oil from the last time so i stuck that in and i have new stuff ordered Quote
rtbiscuit Posted January 25, 2010 Posted January 25, 2010 if it flickered it might just mean that it wasn't filled with enough oil last time. who serviced it last? Quote

If not, I would suggest doing that pronto. Quote
