Mine has come on twice recently, but thats only when i park over night on the front of my drive which is a bit of a sideways angle. never had it any other time. might just need a top up.

vroom vroom done a series of tests that everyone always wanted to know the answer to.
They undone the sump plug... and drove hard for like hours. they couldn't get it to die. in the end they put it in first gear and ran for ages at max rpm until eventually everything dropped out the bottom of the engine bay.
don't reckon at any point prior to they engine disintegrating... that it was ever in a state where you could confidently say you ran your car with no oil and caused no damage.
always used Slick50 in my cars... just in case something like that does happen. Swear by the stuff.

Generally speaking if the lights on, it's too late
Fill it up now, as in don't drive anywhere, get some oil and put it in!
Chances are it will be ok for a bit, but I would not chance it another 10 foot.
sorry mate, too late, I have lost all the oil out the engine. Only realised when I got out the car. The light was only on for a second or so then went out. Then came on again as I was turned round, then off again. I got out of car to find oil everywhere in engine bay.
I wasnt even ragging it, and it hadnt been used for over 24 hours, so oil was cool/thick and pressures would be even higher.
I'm just glad i didnt do it on my trip down the A5. It was hard enough getting towed 3 miles to renault, let alone having to do it 70 miles.

Does anyone know what kind of damage the oil will do to the paint finish, would this be a complete respray or would it be touched up and polished? Seems that it will be a lot of fixing needed if it is a new engine and a new paint job too.

Hope so I know it seems silly worrying about paint when the car is bleeding to death but we try to keep these cars looking minty and it is a complete uphill struggle all the way. Should we ring renault up and ask them to clean it asap even if they can't fix it straight away, will the oil do more damage if it is on longer?
