Oil change?
« on: August 04, 2023, 11:47:58 AM »
When a message (plus the spanner sign) appears saying I need an oil change, does that imply It is ready for one, or that it's too low on oil , If you get what I mean?
I have it booked in a couple of days from now but would like to drive it still b/4 that time.  ;)

If the warning sign light is on, you need to take immediate action.  It is telling you the oil level is already below where it should be.
To continue driving will inevitable result in damage to your engine.

The spanner warning light shows the pre-set maintenance period is due. The oil (pressure) warning looks like an old-fashioned oiling can.
