Hi guys, There probably is a straightforward answer to this... but I'm having difficulties interpreting the oil level when measuring with the stick. With all my other cars in the past, the level is actually very easy to see. But the stick in the Mondial looks completely different to what I'm used to and I can't see the line of the oil level on it. It has been topped off about three months ago, but drove a fair amount since then. After a long drive yesterday the oil level light came on, so I disconnected the sensor and checked the oil level manually. The warning light doesn't always come on by the way. Any pointers on how to "read" the results on this stick? Thanks! Image Unavailable, Please Login
I'm guessing it's below "MIN" currently, but not sure. I haven't checked it yet when it was correctly topped off. Is the line more clear when the level is below MIN and MAX?
Your dipstick is very different than the one in my 3.2. Sent from my iPad using FerrariChat.com mobile app
Same as the one in mine, and it is a pain to read with clean oil. Keep in mind it should be read after the car has run up to operating temp, and then allowed to cool for 10-15 minutes. Checking it cold isn’t really accurate.
Lay it directly on a piece of toiletpaper for example, roll it a little bit and you can see on the paper where the oil is on the dipstick and where not. Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met FerrariChat
