The level of my oil is where the MAX writing is on the dipstick.


I was always told that for best results always have it at the indent part just before the MAX writing.



So fellow Gti'ers what am i going to do or have i to worry?

drain some out to be safe, you dont want to knacker the cats, anywhere in the middle of the dipstick is fine  :wink:

If you can read the dipstick your doing well,for some reason vw dipsticks using fully synthetic oil are difficult to read IMO :undecided:
