My daughter has a Holden Cruze and has been having a problem with Holden over excessive oil use 3 litres in 5,000KM
they are doing an oil consumption test and told her to check the oil every week and if the low oil light comes on to bring it straight away back to them .
One dealer told her to check the oil with the engine running, to which I laughed ,on Saturday I went with her for back up the service guy checked the oil and found it had used100 mil in a week, he then told her to check the oil when the engine was hot because when the oil cools it shrinks and might give a false reading,
Now does oil really shrink that much, because I always check my oil when the engine is cold before I go any where, and would it make that much of a difference?
