gsmdo Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Leave the engine off for 10 minutes, then check the dipstick (by taking it out, wiping it and then dipping it back in and pulling it out to check) - this will tell you what your oil level is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Hello Andrew, Thanks for joining and posting you plea. When you say the oil warning light came on, and you talking oil level warning light, or oil pressure warning light? If it was indeed the oil level light, and you put 1 ltr in from half full, then I wouldn’t expect it to now be overfilled. Does it have a dip stick?? - possibly not if it has an electronic level display. Anyway - as Mike says if it has a dip stick, but I would check first thing in the morning before starting the engine - car on level ground. If no stick - same procedure but check the electronic displayed level before starting after its been standing overnight. Apologies for being direct, but are you from the school of total reliance and faith by acting at a point where a warning light appears, rather than regularly checking the level of a morning? Kind regards, Gareth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
