Oil and Coolant lights flashing 850

posted by  someone claiming to be tony on  Wed Jan 7 12:38 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I once changed my oil... and within a week (1k miles) it had all burned down to the bottom of the dipstick. I topped it up with some of the best branded oil I could find, and it was fine ever since...

Like others have suggested, it would make sense to top it up, and monitor it carefully.. especially any patches you may have on the driveway ;-) Check for oil leaks when the car is running too, as some leaks may not be present till after the car is running and warm.

Hope this helps you.
