Mamuta Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Today the oil light flickered a few times so checked the dipstick and it was bone dry. I added about 3 litres of oil, waited 10 minutes and the stick was still completely dry. How much should I add? 03 1.4 Fiesta zetec. Thanks.

Luke4efc Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Is the exhaust smoke a blueish colour? I can't remember how much oil you need off the top of my head, but I know it's no more than 4L. Keep a close eye on it, if you really just added 3L and nothing on dipstick you've been lucky not to have a seized engine right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dansallis Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I am surprised that your engine is still running!! The oil capacity should be 3.8L, so adding 3L without having drained it should be impossible. Couple of questions: Is your car on flat ground? Is it automatic? What viscosity oil are you using? Should be 5W-30 I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
