Wykesie Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Hey all,Got a 99reg lupo 1.4. I had my oil pressure light flash and beep at me on my way home today and then disappear it was on for a couple of seconds. When I got home I checked my levels it's bone dry much to my horror. I had my oil topped up to normal end of January, my oil shouldn't have gone down that quickly surely? :sDo any of you guys know what could be going on? Am I able to drive my car a couple of miles to a halfords to buy some oil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Do not drive it at all.How many miles have you done in that time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wykesie Posted April 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Since the warning light? About 10 miles to get me home.Since my last top up of oil about 1500 maybe nearer 2000 miles**** ok yeah I thought as much seeing as it seems I have no oil in the car. It was driving fine though which really puzzles me, the engine was still warm when I checked the oil perhaps I should wait a little longer coz when I dipped the oil stick it came out with like nothing on it.

Defcon5 Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 A litre or so of oil in 2000 miles is fine, dont worry about it.You may need more than a litre to top it up, so buy a 4l tub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wykesie Posted April 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 Ah cool, I'm going to bus to work and buy some oil tomorrow to top it up. I hope I haven't done any damage to my engine or anything. Is the oil pressure light suppose to just flash on it never stayed on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defcon5 Posted April 29, 2012 Report Share Posted April 29, 2012 I would guess the pressure was fluctuating causing the light to flash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
