Hey all, Heading off on a roadtrip in the morning and just noticed that the oil is under half.
Usually we get the car serviced with 5w-30 full synthetic. I don't have any past me however I do have plenty of 15w-40 semi synth in the garage.
Should this be ok for a one off top up or should I just go out and buy the 5w-30 they recommend?
Cheers
Under means …. under half? , or under half between min-max of dipstick marker ?
If it's the latter and you're tight, it's ok to top up the bit with what you've got then get an oil change when you're back from roadtrip.
It's still very much ok to drive around with under half between min-max of dipstick marker.
