Worried Engine Related

[Arr0nUK]

Baiscly just went out to go drive my car and had the "------ check oil" come up on the dash, so i checked via the dip stick and there pretty much nothing in it.

Reason why im worried is 2 days ago it was full and its not wet under the car or where i parked. Is it possible that the engine has burnt it all and i guess theres something wrong.

Any idea's?

Im gonna go top it up now and see what happens over next few days.

Have you checked you undertray ? It might be swimming with oil....

Take out the plug in it under your sump plug and see if oil pisses out, if so you might have a damaged sump.

i wuda thought u'd have smelt / seen it if burning a load of oil.

When booting it you can smell a bit of oil, but theres so smoke or anything normally.

Did you check the oil via the dipstick when the engine was warm or cold?

Cold, Is that right?

Update. I toped it up and its stayed there now so will have to watch it over the next few weeks.

did you check the engine cover mate? seems strange. Also make sure you have the car on a flat, wipe the dip stick then re check. (apologies if you know this )
