you can do the oil service and normal service yourself without a computer (OBDII interface).

Yeah but I can't reset the oil warning. That'll annoy me. FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - so many issues

Well, that worked a treat. Oil changed and message cleared.

Ok nothing is ever simple. I don't know if I've overfilled the oil now. I drained the oil until nothing was coming out other than a tiny drip as the car was on ramps. Put in 5l, slowly, over about 10 mins or so.

All dipsticks are twisted - that's how they're supposed to be even though it makes them hard to insert/withdraw. |

That's odd. I've never seen a twisted dipstick in all the cars I've checked oil on. FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - so many issues

The dipstick is normal (twisted) park the car up overnight take the dipstick out give it a wipe, don't replace it, first thing tomorrow morning put the dipstick back in then take a true reading job done. |

Level was still too high so drained a bit off and then topped it up a little and all is at a sensible level again.
