Where is the oil cap?

[k8ngj]

The "Oil OK" message came on the CS 182 and this might sound a dumb question but can someone tell me where is the oil cap so I can top up?

Took me f@@king ages to find the oil dip stick to check the oil level but haven't got a clue where the oil cap is?

Thanks in advance!

i have a cup so no cover on mine to hide it

 

[chale989]

why does it matter if oil ok came on? surely "oil ok" means you dont have to do nothing to it

me neither, looks better without imo

Oil OK should come on every time you put the ignition on (or is it after starting the car?)... it means, as it states, oil is OK.

:S

i think it made him, decide to look for the dipstick to check then he couldnt find the oil filler cap, just one of those things you do when you are intrigued

Thanks guys

Yeah, first time I saw the message so decided to check the level of oil and maybe top it up a little cos it shows up every time I start the car now!

it should always show when you start the car. Also if you hold the little stalk on the speedo down (the one you use to reset the trip, mpg etc) just after turning the key in the ignition it shows a little read out of oooooo-- which supposedly shows you the level of oil. all oooo's means it full up and 0------- means you are waaay to low. Although you should defo use your dipstick regularly as the digital readout is known to be unreliable.

Thanks, will def keep an eye on it!

The oooo--- is the max-min equivalent on the dipstick, not "way too low".

When I changed my oil, I found it to be spot on as it got topped up !

 

[JBC27]

Wierd I had my oil light and stop light come on the other day and the digital display was showing 00------, topped it up and lights went out so kind of assumed when the display is down to one or two 0's that you are running properly low. Anyway I suppose the point I meant to make was its good to keep an eye on it, keep it topped up and use the dipstick as the digital readout can be iffy

Clio oil level sensors are pants, if you on a hill and its a bit low it will come on, utter crap.
