LEXISCON Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 Good to be part of a LEXUS forum! Anyway i did my oil change which i have always done myself (never had a problem). I used 5w-30 Mobil 1 synthetic with Mobil 1 filter, filled it with about 4 litres and took it for a drive. The oil light came on!! the 8 years i have owned this car and done the oil changes i have NEVER seen the oil light. WHATS UP!?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEXISCON Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 OK, Just checked oil level to make sure i didn't go over. I put in 4.25 liters I SWEAR!! There is no oil on the stick!!?? Yes the drain bolt is tight... yes the oil filter is tight... no oil on the driveway... WHERES MY OIL!!?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDixon Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 People make mistakes. Add more oil to the fill line on the dipstick and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VBdenny Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I've seen people put the oil into the transmission, radiator and washer fluid container on accident. If you poured the exact amount in, the oil should be on the dipstick. It either leaked our is somewhere else. Check elsewhere for oil.

VBdenny Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I get out the exact amount first because usually my neighbors come over and we end up drinking beer and concentration is diverted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
