I've done some 4000 km from service and i've checked my oil level and I was amased to see that I'm running low on oil. I let the car in my garage and in the morning I checked to see the level and it was at maximum......
If someone has seen this problem pls replay
Can someone make clear to me whats hapening cuz I dont understand :bang:
Why after I start the engine my oil is runing away :) and dont tell me its all in my engine ..... thanks:worship:

I forgot to tell u that my feet its a heavy one and the throtle its almost down :slayer:
 
Oil level should be checked with the engine cold and turned off and on level ground.
 
With the engine running the oil is pumped all through the various galleries and bearings to lubricate the engine. What is in the sump when the engine is running is just what is being returned by the pump ready for the next cycle.

Don't be tempted to overfill the engine as this can result in blown seals and gaskets = lots of expense.

Yes, after stopping the engine allow at least 10 minutes for the oil to (mostly) drain back to the sump.
If you are losing oil slowly after a service, then it's usually the oil filter needs tightening up a bit.
