I have tried searching the forums but cant find an answer.
The dip stick has a strange looking orange plastic bit on the end making it difficult to tell how much oil is in the car. So far have removed the stick, wiped it, re-seated it for a couple of seconds and then removed to have a look. Cannot see any oil on the orange bit of plastic. Worried that the oil could be very low I added 1 litre of oil to the engine. Ran for a short time (2 miles), waited an hour for oil to settle then checked again with same result. Cannot see any oil on the orange bit.
Am I missing something here? Checking it wrong? I am used to the normal dipsticks which are much easier to read.
The car seems to run fine. No lights on dash and not overheating.
Thanks guys.
