Done 6400kms and two oil changes.One at 959kms ( mineral oil went in) and one at 5000kms ( Penrite SIN 15 went in).I'm trying to find out info to settle a difference of opinion between a couple of work mates, all mechanics by trade.

300c-crd Member 36 Member For: 16y 8m Posted 21/09/08 06:13 AM Share Posted 21/09/08 06:13 AM In general, modern engines should not need oil top up between services, with my experiences with v6 4.0 Bravo, 300C v6 turbo diesel, Subaru 3.0 outback and Subaru Forrester, none of them need oil top up between services. No doubt they might use some oil but shouldn't drop below MIN before the next service. Have it check out if yours uses excess amount of oil.
