Yeah always have it checked, that’s what I learnt. Maybe he reused the screw for the oil after letting it out. You should always use a new one because of the sealing
What is a quart? Quarter gallon, so 0.9 liters?
Thanks, that’s what I did now. Filled 0,5 L, dipstick still dry. Filled another 0.5L, dipstick showed oil at lower third of the area. Filled in alother 0.5L, then it was at upper third. Left it at 1,5L.
Then 15 mins later I started the engine and let it run for 10s, then checked the oil again. suddenly it was about a third too high. But cleaned it and measured it a few times, and then the oil above the marking was less and less, I guess it was still sticking to the upper end of the thing where the oil is in.
Contacted the seller, he said he never measured it but left it to the garage to take care of it.
Anyway I will drive 200km later, I will post here if anything unusual happens. Will still get an oil change next week with new filters, I guess there’s lots of particles and stuff in the oil now, so cleaning it out will be well-invested money.
I also have a 1.4, 4 cylinder fiat engine. Should be robust but no oil is bad. I thought there’s sensors for that? I feel dumb for not checking when I bought. The hood was open but I didn’t check the oil
Yeah that’s my plan now. Getting 5L of 10W40, car takes 2,6L, the rest is coming with me. Next week it gets a visit to the local garage.
I‘m annoyed, that’s my third used car and each time there are issues that I could have found before. Maybe I’ll learn
I forgot to check the oil level. I know that was stupid. Car looked in good shape and it didn’t seem reasonable. But that was dumb. Next time I will print a checklist and go through it with a pen.
That’s what I was wondering. But on a tissue I should see it really
I like my CDs!
Thanks for the reply, I’ll check what I can replace it with. I do like a radio that has proper buttons, so I can control it without looking down. But I’ll probably find something suitable.
Until then, I put a CCR CD in. CCR is always good. Learnt that from John McClane
