Check Oil Level! Error Message




This is my first encounter of the Check oil level! message, popped out about a year ago, few weeks owning it. I was initially puzzled with full hope that nothing serious shall happened.

I did called one of the local service centre, stating that I do have the error message, what should I do? Too bad, the answer is "please make an appointment and come next week, we are all fully booked at the moment". Then, Mr. Google helped me. Understood that it was because of low level of engine oil. 

This is how much engine oil, which for me looks okay but still trigger the error message. So as recommended by other users, I bought a 1 litre engine oil, topup only about 1/4 liter, solved!

The question is, how much do I have to top-up, or how frequent? For my first 15,000km I have to top-up 1 litre. And for the next 15,000km (until 30,000km) service interval, I have to top-up about 1/2 litre. Yes, its getting lesser. I do believe that the engine oil they put in from factory may just be "just enough" and so after the first engine oil we do get the "correct" engine oil level.







Followings are some of the pictures on the second occurrence;






Done!
