Hey Guys,
I'm new here. I'm from Melbourne and am looking at a D22 3.0 6 Cyl 4x4 interstate. I had a car inspection done on the car and when he went to check the oil, there was a only drop of oil on the dipstick. Besides the car needing a good tidy up and a few minor things here and there, that was the main thing that he picked. Also the fact that it has done 200,000 KM's He started the car and it sounded fine (no rattling) so he said. The car is owned by a company and has missed a service and is (almost 9,000 KM) over? Is this natural for it go through a fair bit of oil over say 19,000 kms without a service. I guess my main question in which im hoping someone can answer this for me is that at what level does the dipstick stop reading. The guy that had the car for the last 8 months or so said he never noticed any lights come on. I like the car but dont want to be stuck with problems (although even a new car can give you problems). Any Help would be appreciated.
Thanks guys
James
