Hello Guys & Gals
I posted the other week, but thought I'd update & ask a few more questions.
Car in question is a 300TDi S Reg Disco, 99K miles.
I drove 225 miles towing a 1.6T trailer last week, and at the end of it the oil pressure light was flickering one and off. I pulled over, checked for the obvious,loose wires,no oil leaks and the dip stick showing between low & high. I re-started, this time no flickering lights. I limped to the garage, and tipped in a litre of oil on the basis it wouldn't do any harm, and I had only 15 miles to go to get home.
At the weekend, I serviced the lanny, Oil change, Filters etc. Oil was 15 W 40 Semi synthetic, although not the same semi synthetic oil I usually use, every 6,000 miles.
Today, again flickering oil light after 230 miles (no towing), although 99% of the time its off. Oil is between high & low on the dipstick.
The light came on whilst driving up a relatively steep hill.
Should I tip in some more oil, an oil treatment (Wynne's ?) or what ...any ideas ?
