Hur svårt är det att kolla oljan?

This is what happened.

For those of you not familiar with the 911, it is an air coooled engine that is dry sumped and has a catch tank in the offside rear wing. To properly check the engine oil level you have to have the car fully warmed up until the oil thermostat opens allowing the system to fully circulate and then dip the tank with the engine idling. If you check it with the engine switched off and cool, you will get no reading on the stick. You may be starting to get the picture.

Before carrying out an emissions check the tester is obliged to check the oil level. Guess who thought the engine was empty?

Måste vara det mest komplicerade oljebytet!

MOT..?

This however, was a new one on me and was yet another example of how an MOT can be a real hit or miss affair, especially on a classic.

Tala om komplicerat att kolla oljan på den modellen! Det låter dessutom väldigt obehagligt att behöva köra motorn varm INNAN man kan kolla oljan.

Efter att ha läst berättelsen så tycker jag ändå bättre om SPB - där behöver man i varje fall inte lämna i från sig bilen obevakad.
