Had the car serviced in august next service is in august or should be car has done 4000 miles to date mainly very short journeys really 16 miles per day.

prob is No Oil left in the sump?? used 5w30 like the owners manual states, ran the car in correctly and didnt thrash it from new either.

So can any of you guys help, seems strange the sump should be dry, although the oil warning light hasnt come on??

When you say no oil, do you mean it's not registering on the dipstick? Have you topped up at all?

Roojai

Yes, this is important, I think there will be almost 3.5 litres of oil in the sump before it registers on the dipstick.

your right guys yes its not regestering on the dip stick is this normal, car has only got 4000 miles on the clock so far? not topped up car yet since I had the 1000 mile service when the oil was changed for Motul 5w30 in August last year

Top it up and measure how much was needed.

Engines do use oil, if its only used a litre in 4000 miles thats not too bad, cars have done better and worse.
