hi all
got a bit of an oil problem, yesterday on the way home from work my oil light came on, so when i got home i left it for a while, then went out and checked it, dipstick showed that it was bone dry, i should state here that ive been a bit irresponsible and havnt checked the oil for about 6 months, last checked it when i first bought the car
so up to halfords i went and bought the correct oil, the guide states its a maximum of 4.3L, ok so i thought, now seeing as there is no oil at all in the engine, a 4L bottle should cover this...
ive now got too much oil in, the oil level is about 4cm above the max dipstick marker
now im guess im going to have to drain it back out, but can anyone advise my error please?
cheers
