I need oil.....

Yup checked it tonight and I am sitting just below the min marker when cold....

I know Exiges suffer from Oil starvation but is it normal for mine to be so low on oil after only 15k?

What oil should I go for on my trip to Halfrauds tomorrow?

Nope....don't think so......the oils starvation is linked to the oil pooling when cornering a lot (ie plenty of oil there, it just can't get used???)

They do use oil - though mine more when new.

Ali told me he had a guy topping up oil after only 2500k so I feel a bit better...

Sounds like its all normal and the car hasn't missed a beat and is driving like a dream

After only 15K, ie 15,000 miles?

How often do you do oil changes?

Yup only 15,000 miles.

I've never had to do an oil change on any car I've had, and not checked the book yet for intervals

I do believe however that Dream Machines supposedly gave it an A Service before it got delivered at 13,000 miles

Maybe I should have said at the beginning that I have checked for leaks etc and there isn't any sign of one anywhere... Parked in the same spot everynight since I've had it as well and no marks on the floor, so if it is going anywhere, its being used!

Which is an oil change - so it's used over a litre in 2000 miles if they are telling the truth.
