whole 5 litres
« on: May 05, 2014, 02:06:16 pm »
Hi, ive just had a full service done to my gti by a friend with the oil and oil filter changed. He has put the whole 5 litres of oil in the car should I be worried? Shall I ask him to drain some out. He said not to worry. Ive checked the dipstick its covering the whole max bit. Not gone into the wire though. What shall I do??

They do take nearly 5 litres.  Everywhere states 4.5, but its more like 4.9.  I wouldn't worry.
