i check my oil/fluids weekly
Welcome to Just Commodores, a site specifically designed for all people who share the same passion as yourself.
no oil under car and no smoke
If you checked the oil level a week earlier and it did not need topping up, possibly the only way the oil level could have dropped extremely low in that short period is if you had a significant external oil leak so the oil is blowing out of the system under normal operating pressure.
Surely there must be more to this story.
IF the sump is very low there is no way you would not have got both an engine oil low warning and most likely a low oil pressure warning come up on the dash display at some stage.
Good luck with it. Hopefully they will find a component failure that resulted in an external oil leak.
maybe i read the dipstick wrong and didnt wipe it off properly
I read an article in a local rag during the last week where a VE was found to have extremely low oil in the sump, had no warning lights operating and took three litres for anything to register on the dipstick. The engine was running fine and had given no indications either of oil loss or impending failure. Strange things, these Alloytecs,
