Another question for the gurus.
My car is coming up for a regular 9,000 mile service. Today the engine oil level light came on very briefly so I checked the oil level. The level is only just above the minimum so I am going to top it up with a litre INSERT INTO post VALUES (I wouldn't normally do this but it is going in for a service next week so it will all get changed anyway).
The thing is, should it have used nearly a litre of oil in 9,000 miles? I can't find any oil leaks around the engine and there doesn't seem to be any excess exhaust gases INSERT INTO post VALUES (tested by a friend stomping on the accelerator and realising it whilst I watched the exhaust).
Is there anything else I should be checking?
As always I would appreciate your wisdom..oh Galant trivia masters :bow: :bow:
