This not meant to be as sarcastic as it sounds, but what is dumb is, what car do you have?

An oil light come on, on the right on the right of what??

Come on mate get some info in here, car, year and engine size at least eh? Oh and where you are might help out too.

It is an indicator that you must have an oil changed. Afterwards, remove the rubber from the console glass in front of you. Insert a stick that will reset a button from your speedometer. Hope you got what i said.

Sorry mate as I said didn't mean it sound as bad as it came out, did Chitorbs post help you, was this relevant to your dash? :group-cuddles:

If this doesn't elicit a reply consider the MPV forum.

You don't say where you are but if you are, in the UK most decent motorfactors can help out with pattern parts, if you are doing an oil change I would change the fuel filter too, while ya making a mess might as well make it a biggun eh?

As for oil type make sure it is the best you can afford and that it is turbo compatible, the older mineral oils aren't, as I found out after buying 6 litres in France because it was cheap, it was cheap to be sure but in my haste never noticed it was not turbo, you should use semi or fully synthetic, my ace stickers say it needs to be changed every 5000 kays which amounts to about 3000 miles which is a bit harsh on the wallet.
