I changed my oil about 3 months ago and i had a Oil level Above Max Warning..removed a couple of oil thru the oil dipstick with a pump and got the level correct..now im getting a low oil warning?? i checked the oil with the dipstick and its low...what can be the cause??are this engines oil hog???also which grade i should be using...here in my country temps doesnt vary from 24.C to 30C im using mobil1 syn. car has 26K miles thanks

 

With 26k miles you shouldn't be burning any oil. Did you notice anything on the driveway where you park, is anything leaking? I used to run Mobil1 in all my Benzes until I switched to Royal Purple and I never had any issues. What weight Mobil1 are you using???

 

I had the same issue last year. I removed only 4 oz of oil through the dipstick. I bet you removed more. Add half of what you removed through the dipstick. viola!

 

yep i removed alot....i think almost a qt...so if i add half a qt thru the dipstick not the normal way i will be ok?? why should i add by the dipstick? or i should add thru the dipstick till it marks normal level? i checked today the oil by the cluster and it says add 1.5 lt ...should i add by the oil cap or the dipstick??

i use 10w30mobil1 syn...should i use this weight or more??? thanks

 

I don't know how much oil you put in there but your support to put 8QT of 0W40 weight oil. You might get away with 5w30 but 10W30 is a little to thick. My car use about 1/5 qt of oil ever 1.5 month.

btw, isn't easier to measure with the dipstick and fill from the oil cap??? i don't need the computer to tell me how to much oil is in the engine when the most acurate & easiest way is looking at the dipstick..

 

the problem is that i live on a country that the temps doenst go below 23c and as high of 33c...also i removed the oil thru the dipstick with a pump bc i was getting a above max level warning

 

why don't you just add till the dipstick reads full?
