Right i've noticed my 1.2 8v when the dip stick from cold says not low but not max, its inbetween it makes a rattle....
Now when it warm as the manual says when to check
The dip stick isn't lathered, its a very thin coat on the smooth side, and on the rear where its textured its saying im very low on oil

Anyway i've put some more in
Should the oil seem to dissapear when warm?
And Mines Black.... I know it will eventually go black, but i've had it 6months from when it was ""Serviced"" by the people i brought it from

Is it time for a new filter and oil change?
And im okay on 10w-40w Part Syn ?

Or do i honestly need to go to 5-40?
