Hey all,
Got a used P5 (210,000KM), 5 speed. It's been fairly cold this last week, and I went to check the oil and it's about a 3rd of the way up from the MIN mark between the MIN and MAX. Last time I checked, which was only about 2 weeks ago and maybe 600km, it was about 3/4 to the MAX.
Does anyone know how much oil is between the MIN and MAX marks? A litre maybe?
Anyway, I don't see a leak, and I don't see a puff of blue smoke on start up.
Anywhere I can quickly check? The pcv valve never looked straight or on tight to me, but apparently others think that as well here so that might be normal?
Any thoughts? This is way too much oil loss for my liking.
OH, and I'm using castrol edge syntec 5w-30. Is it worth switching to a high mileage oil?
Thanks!
