Just changed my oil. Did a pro job and all and use castrol oil to refil. Now I put quite a bit in and started the engine. Oil light went off after a few seconds. Put a little more in. Oil light comes back on.

Check dipstick and because it's new oil it is clear. How on earth do I know how much is in there? Ta very much

Wipe the dipstick then put it back in and even if it is clear you should be able to see the wet bit.

I did that and there was only a small amount on it. I better not start the engine again incase I break it. Better get my dad to check it later.

(IT WAS MY FIRST TIME

Got a 1.4 16v
Just been back down and stuck 1 and a half litres in it. Sounds healthier

Don't wanna shag the engine out.
