Re: Where has my oil gone ?

I grilled my mechanic about that.
He explained that if the oil had run out and the oil pump was gulping air then the system is still pressurised and so the gauge indicates correct pressure.

I asked about what other gauges/gadgets I could fit to give me some proper warning next time. Apparently the answer is "nothing" unless I want to spend a heap of money on an oil level measurement system like they fit in racing cars.

If anyone else has some better ideas I'd love to hear from you.
