Posted 08/08/10 08:36 AM Share Posted 08/08/10 08:36 AM so I just went service the car and replace oil.I had a look at the dip stick and what do I see? ...NOTHING!!!The bloody thing is BONE dry. Somewhere along the lines, the oil has been drained or vanished. From AVO who put the new motor in, to headsex, to dyno-mite, to here now! Not pointing fingures but fark me! Donno if I went to calder with no oils, etc etc. My fault for not checking oil levels on a regular basis. New motor hasnt even done 5000km's!Anyway hoping no damage has been done. Will call Dion tomorrow and ask if he had looked at my engine oil levels when tuning the car.Put some PENRITE premium full synthetic 0-40w. 7L worth! 60$ per 5L bottles.
