Top it up but don't overfill it. The best is to wait till morning (don't start the engine) when all oil is in sump. Make sure the car is on the level ground and pour just 250ml in, wait at least 5 minutes and recheck.Performance Tunes from $850Wrecking RS OCTAVIA 2 Link

Did anyone check the oil level when new? When I picked mine up it had 54km on it and I checked the oil level soon as I got home and it was only at the halfway mark on the dipstick. I got the dealer to top it up the next time I went past and it hasn't used a drop now in the next 34,000km. I reckon it was never filled from the start as it wouldn't use half a litre in 60km and then nothing afterwards.
btw They reckon 54km is normal for new cars delivered by them (Norris in Kedron, Brisbane) but I have been used to my new cars having around 5km when delivered. it wasn't being used as a demo as it was sitting on display on a shipping container in front of the showroom.Nov '15 Polo 81TSI manual white

Up to 100km they can reset the odometer back to zero - once, so they either forgot to reset it or they'd already reset it so you had 54km plus some figure <100kmOriginally posted by Mountainman View PostDid anyone check the oil level when new?
