Thread: mps service

  1. #1

    Default mps service

    Hi everyone,
    so i ended up getting my car serviced today at a friends, friend whos a mechanic, anyway, after he serviced it i drove around for about 100kms then i thought id check the dip stick just to see the color of the oil.... the oil looked like a sort of brownish color, i always thought that it would be almost like a lighter see-through(ish) color.
    should i be worried?
    im more thinking that the mechanic didn;t even bother changing the oil....
    but im not sure...

    Take the dipstick and wipe a bit of the oil with your finger and have a feel of the oil between the thumb and index finger. Shouldnt feel gritty at all and the colour should be a lightish yellow colour (last part depending on how many k's you have done after the service and how much hard driving has been done) - This is what I've heard through mechanics. Happy to be proven wrong on this
