Checking the oil level?

[matt101]

Picked up my Cerbera 4.5 last week and have just managed to prize myself out of the thing (had to come to work

What a truly amazing Car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Found a couple of posts on here explaining how to check the oil level but despite multiple attempts, all I seem to get is oil all over the stick!!


Can anyone tell me what Im doing wrong here????

Matt,

I only seem to get a good reading on the back of the dip-stick. You have to pull it out quite slowly too

I have exactly the same problem and just keep plugging away until I've convinced myself approx' where the oil is. I've learnt through time that the engine uses v little oil anyway which helps. If you find the answer please let me know as that will free up a couple of hours a month for me

Another helpful tip is to make sure that you wipe the whole of the dip-stick, not just the bottom bit. And just keep trying!
