Oil help?

[Mikemc]

Just had the min oil level light come on in my 140 bkd. What oil can I buy to carry round with me for top ups? I don't appear to be leaking anything so that's a good start!

Check on your dipstick so the level is between the min an max marks.

Don't state the obvious. How would I go about it? Say pour quarter a bottle in then let it settle?

Engine warm? Or cold?

Checked the oil, it was just on the min mark, filled 500ml up gonna park it on my mother in laws drive as its flat and settle for 30 then check and adjust.

Pooped myself at first thinking my turbo was drinking my oil.

Don't ask the obvious.
