Default Oil

Hi, I've had my scooby for 4 months now when I bought it I topped the oil up, I've checked it just and it's quite low, is that about right, do they like drinking oil, thanks

Check the engine bay for oil,get underneath and check the sump you'll know if you have a leak if there's only a drop of oil I wouldn't lose to much sleep.

Better yet service time as it had low oil when you got it tells me it's due

My oil filter (the blue type) even after I clean it has an oil residue on it. I lose a little oil but know this and keep on top of it. I'll change it when the oil change comes up in a couple of months.
