This afternoon I filled up my dad's '90 250D engine-oil. The dipstick was marked a few milimetres under "minimum". I threw 2 liters of oil in, and the dipstick then was marked at about 5 milimetres below "maximum".
Then I started the engine and drove off. The oil pressure gauge was pointing at 3 (bar?) while iddleing, while it normally points at 2 while the engine iddles.
I drove for about 15 minutes and stopped the engine. About two houres later I had to go somewhere, so I started the engine, when I 2 seconds later thought "shit, I had to check the dipstick". I drove off anyway, and the longer I drove, the further the oil pressure gauge dropped. When I was back home again, it pointed at 2 like normal.
I'm affraid it will drop further, because I can see no reason why it wil not drop further, while it also dropped from 3 to 2.
I just got home, so I will check the dipstick again in an hour or something.
Does anyone think it will drop further or not? And why?
Thanks in advance
BTW: Where can I find the search on this forum, because I haven't found it yet.
