Hi @ all!

Have one question:

How often you must refill oil?
Have driven now over 5000 km and only 1 liter oil?????
when I use the oil level controlling is still ok, can this be???
or its possible that the measurement is broken?

Kind reagards

Hallo Hh,


I didn´t have any oil consumption til yet after 3500 km and two trackdays. After the last trackday in Spa I did have had a Oil change on the recommendation of McLaren.

I've not needed to add any oil during the first 5000 kms.

Not added any yet either,but i must check it rather than relying on the electronics to tell me when

I presume that we'll get an e-mail from Ron when Woking's monitoring systems see that oil level is getting low.....

I was told in confidance that someone arrives in your drive with an oilcan before the end of the day,but the more modern system seems more probable

What is the factory fill (namely the recommended motor oil weight/spec)?

Mobil 1,the best for all high performance turbo engines i think

How do you check the oil level anyways? Sorry... I would go look on my car but unfortunately it is at the dealership getting a check engine light sorted!

Sorry but I respecfully disagree. There are MANY brands of oils that are far superior to Mobil 1. If you are going to go with M1 then atleast get the Extended performance version which is Fully synthetic. The rest of them has some Dino Oil in them. I will see if I can back up my claims with some data

Im sure Ritesh,but im just going with what Mclaren suggest because i like my warrenty,as regards oil checking its on page 154 of your leather bound manual
