Hi all
A mate has just rung me with his oil light on.
He needs to top it up before a full change.
He has a preface 2.2 dti with 128k on the clock.
He is in tesco's at the moment so any help would be much appreciated.

Normally 5W30 fully synthetic
5w30 fully synth long life stuff
Tell him keep an eye on usage because With that mileage might be worth while putting 10w30 in
As critch just said. I put the 5-30 in but add an oil treatment. Better with older engines and keeps engine noise down too
don't add any oil treatments it's bad for the engine. if the treatments were any good the oil manufacturers would be using them!
I wouldn't recommend additives the oil manufacturers spend millions of pounds developing these oils an they have the additives built in.
As previously mentioned if its using oil then try a slightly thicker oil
Thanks again all.
I think he is sorted now as I have not heard back from him. No news is probably good news :-)
I will let him know about maybe changing to 10w30 due to the miles on the car but he didn't mention if its using more than normal.
Will find out
Cheers

If it was me ibwould be putting 10/40 in it
right..so the mate in trouble is me... i did not had time to reply to chris, but the problem is there just becuz i did not had the time to buy the oil (tesco did not had it) . will do tomorrow morning at first hour.
i know that i have an oil drop, i never had the time or money to check why is it there and how to fix it! Maybe, when we will have a meeting one of you guys will take a look and tell me what it might be. On the other hand, the sign that i had in the dashboard is this :

Could this light affect the cruise control? Cuz when i coming back home i couldn`t activate the cruise control. I had no spanner or LHM light on, just this and the cruise control not working.
When i`m gonna buy the oil, in the morning, how much oil should i top up ? And when, engine cold or warm?
Thanks a lot guys !
