I have a petrol sport. My oil warning light came on on Sunday afternoon. Bit of a shock as the car has only done 5700 miles.

Stopped the car, waited for 5 mins checked oil - on min on dipstick. Straight to nearest garage for oil - put 1ltr in after a cooling period and is now on max.

But then I read the manual and I do mainly what is called Severe driving...... a lot of my journeys are under 5 miles.

Mr Lippy was not impressed as none of our previous cars used oil - 2 focuses and RAV4 most recently and mondeos before the focuses. Even his diesel works van doesn't burn /use oil.

Going to have to buy a large bottle to keep in garage for future use, but am hoping the dealer may change/top up for free at service due in September.
