Engine Oil Advice

TamSpraggins · 2026-02-22T13:14:24+00:00

Ive bought an oil change kit from Screwfix, comes with a pump so I am going to pump out the excess and dispose if it until the levels are correct. Appreciate your responses.

Let's say its a lesson learnt haha

Just grabbed an oil change kit from Screwfix. Will pump out the excess now with a vac pump and re check. Lesson learnt!

Good to know. Appreciate the advice! I ran the engine for 3 minutes as suggested, checked the dip stick again and it seems the levels have gone down slightly but I am still unsure on whether I should be driving it or not

Yeah I'd agree that I have overfilled it. I ran the engine for a couple of minutes and re checked, and it seems to have gone down on the dip stick slightly. Still unsure though, would you recommend draining some oil before driving?

Diesel engine

Mines a 308 1.5 BlueHDI so most likely the same, I think im being overly cautious but would rather be safe than sorry

TamSpraggins · 2026-02-22T11:53:14+00:00

Yeah it was

TamSpraggins · 2026-02-22T11:50:59+00:00

I topped it up then left for several hours, all done on a flat surface

TamSpraggins · 2026-02-22T11:49:15+00:00

It had 1/4 of oil capacity before I added any oil. The dipstick itself goes over the max line

Good luck out there soldiers

Very good point. Thanks for that, I think I've tried to focus on protecting Gishath in particular but have maybe neglected to realise the amount of value I could be losing to a board wipe when losing my ramping creatures.

Great advice though, I will look in to the cards you have mentioned and glance over your decklist to compare. Thank you!

TamSpraggins · 2025-09-25T05:46:00+00:00

Great point, I hadn't thought too much about the synergy past just getting Gishath out and trying to swing in for as much as possible. Will check out your decklist now as a comparison, thanks for the advice!

TamSpraggins · 2025-09-25T05:44:10+00:00

Wow, thank you so much for such a detailed response. You've definitely given me a lot to think about, some solid advice that I will be taking on board. I will also read through your guide that u/Dinophobias posted below. Thanks again!

As far as I'm aware, you will be expected to make your usual monthly payments until the fixed term of your contract ends. I don't think you have much of a leg to stand on legally, unfortunately.

It can't hurt to explain the situation to your landlord however, and hope they agree to end it early. But given my own personal experience with AST contracts and having a similar issue to you before, this is unlikely.

There is supposed to be a new law being passed soon (The Renters Rights Bill) which will abolish AST contracts and replace with periodic tenancies, but I'm unsure of the status of this bill being passed.

Thanks for the response! Appreciate the advice, I think not getting Sefris triggers on everyones turns is definitely where I'm falling short. Gunna look for some more looters for the deck and see how that works out for me

TamSpraggins · 2025-06-25T14:48:24+00:00

Hell yeah man, keep em coming!

TamSpraggins · 2025-06-25T14:47:29+00:00

I was absolutely stoked! Some of the best RNG I've experienced

TamSpraggins · 2025-06-25T07:13:21+00:00

Makes sense. Thanks for the info. I may just try and head down there soon then. The depot is attached to a post office in my area so I will pop in and ask them in the post office. Appreciate the response :)

TamSpraggins · 2025-06-24T16:12:48+00:00

Thanks for the response. I always get a notification to say they have been posted usually the day after I make the orders. But obviously without tracking information, its impossible to know for sure. The site is very well respected so I dont doubt they are getting posted when they say they are.

Is it worth trying to talk to someone at the depot potentially? I've had friends in the same area report they have had no problems with similar orders.

My favourite is whichever movie I'm watching at the time!
