z350convert Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 What a prize plonker. Just half a cup full, but it was a bit dark out there. Anyway I'm sure you blokes will say change the oil but the threads on the correct engine oil are confusing. How about 5 / 30 Castrol Edge to start the ball rolling? It's a 2003 350 with 53k on clock Views welcome Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhackyWill Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Woops..! half cup will just evaporate with oil temperature. so would not worry too much. If its due an oil change soon, bring it forward, you can still use the car. Get the correct oil from ZMANALEX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

z350convert Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 Thanks for all the input. It is dripping a bit of oil anyway and having only had the car a couple of weeks I thought I might get the bottom cover off and have a look. While I am there, might as well do the oil change - see how I feel about it in the morning. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
