Polo Check oil level Warning!!!

[Chichi]

Buy a litre of oil and top it up Do you ever check your oil regularly, like every month ??????????/

A Polo takes 4L for a complete drain and fill

You need a VW approved oil like this one if its a petrol engine

Thanks Hillbilly,
To be honest, I never checked my oil level. I thought mechanist changed it when I did the service and I suppose it would last long enough until my next service. Will it still be ok to drive a bit?

Its a good idea to check your oil every few weeks or every 1,000km's just to keep an eye on things. Having the engine run low/run out of oil will cost you a lot of money.

In your case its possible that:

1) mechanic didnt put enough oil in when he did the service
2) your car is burning oil
3) you have an oil leak

Get some oil, top it up and then check for #3 (should be pretty obvious) and keep an eye on the possibility of #2 by checking your oil every few weeks.

So you asked for advice and we said dont drive it and you did Priceless

I didn't drive, was starting it to check the warning sign...anyway the guy said it was a leak and its safe to drive to the mechanist tomorrow to get it checked...
