[QUOTE="astroboy, post: 381264, member: 4527"] I think if oil level is dangerously low, ECU will intercept before allowing engine to seize. Before that, your temperature will shoot up first which will cause your engine to over heat due to low engine oil which happens to act as a cooling agent to regulate temperature in your engine, just like the blood in our veins. So you will get temperature warning too! Oh yes! and perhaps low engine oil pressure too! But why risk? replace engine oil if soon due or just top up with any engine oil convenient to u* if you really too busy and MSport happen to be out of town. *: even adding mineral oil is still better than allowing the engine to run with insufficient oil. U in Subang ma, and you know where to get Torco ma, just drop by my friend's shop and get him to top up for u la. My charges is higher because I get my Torco from him too.. I mark up 10% ma to cover my traveling cost to collect the oil, and even that can't cover toll charges also.. :p :D :( [/QUOTE]
