How do you check the oil!?
Do you expect a black-and-white answer to that?

Lol MM Our daily runner(mini) has an even worse dipstick reader. I managed to overfill the engine oil once, driving was interesting with a oil smoke cloud so dense I couldn’t see out of the rear view mirror. Greta Thunberg would have told me off proper!

Maybe an app could be invented for this That would be quite helpful actually. Because I once put in what I thought was Olivio Oil. When I checked it a few weeks later, even though I hadn't driven much, the dipstick was all Crisp 'n Dry. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DgDcIKs6cHo

Ho ho ho. And it's not even Christmas any more. I have heard VAG engines use oil, though probably the petrols as our Leon TDi didn't use any. I've heard the Golf Gti engine uses a fair bit. My Mk5 GTI uses half a litre every 1500 miles or so. Exactly the same as my coop did. What it doesn’t do is plume smoke at the lights despite running no cat, which is nice. That was always a little embarrassing in all the 20VT’s I owned, but it was a quirk I put up with. I’d pretend I was bond and using a smoke screen
Coopless!
