The oil is so clean i can't clearly see where it's up to as some of it smears on the dipstick all the way up on one side on it's route in / out
I have the same problem! Did you find a way to know the level? I just keep overfilling (I have a leak problem) but no matter if I just put 4L or if it's with the engine light on asking for oil the stick always looks the same, just smeared all the way with a bit of transparent oil without any line anywhere. 🤪
@@TheSimArchitect I found that wiping it completely dry and putting it in, wait 2 seconds, pull it out and whilst pulling it out keep it as vertical as possible. Look at it vertically as the oik is so thin it runs up giving false readings if checked horizontally.
Look for the part on the dipsticj where it goes all the way around and it should be between the 2 small holes. Don't always aim for the top. Between both somewhere is perfect. Repeat the process to 3 to 4 times to ensure consistent reading before topping up if needed
@@hardcoretam The problem is that there's no line anywhere, the entire stick (well, not the entire stick, but most of it) gets greasy with transparent oil. I have an oil leak problem, I lost about 8 L of oil the past time I used it (only travelled once) so it's really transparent but if it didn't spear the entire stick and had any line, anywhere, even if transparent, I'd be able to read. Also, the stick is flat but very flimsy and it only goes inside one way, I can't try a different angle to see if I get any hint. I hope that once I fix the leak I figure out a way. I will drive 150 Km while wasting oil to move to the new place, where I will be able to lift the car and replace a couple of parts, one that must be responsible for the leakage. Can't do it where I live right now as I have no garage. Mechanics want a fortune (fair enough, offer x demand) so I prefer to fix it myself. I will fix the car and get rid of it after. It was a very bad purchase. I want a larger vehicle with a sensor for the oil level. It's easier to predict the future using a crystal ball than reading the oil on my car. 🤪
Thanks for the tips, though.
@@hardcoretam so true,I use my light on my phone to see the level since it's so hard
Cheers Mr cyclone almost got lost in the forest you’ve helped a lot pal
Thanks🙏 just bought an old C1 and was checking when warm so this info helped.
Perfect. Just what I needed to know.
Thanks, that's helped a lot. Now you need to do a post on how to see the coolant level on the same cars!
Thanks for clarifying I read the manual correctly lol. Every other car I've had says to check the oil after the engine has got to running temperature and then been left for ten minutes. It's actually pretty impossible to read the dipstick when the engine is warm as the all just spreads all over the length of the dipstick. Great clear video 👍
this is confusing a lot of people.
Unbelieveble,that it was so simply.Thank you a lot!
Simple, yes. But easy to get wrong!
Thanks for this! And for knowledge they are prone to burning oil.
Thanks for that. My son has just bought a C1.
First car? Great first cars. Check out this playlist: ua-cam.com/play/PLOaePmzqZNJ1fPE11dUmVEWmT7kT4OmAQ.html
Thanks a lot for your excellent explanation 🌷
Thank you.. I should do mine in the morning ✔️
Did it work?
Using this vid to help me out with my tell me questions so I know where the oil is for my test tomorrow
thanks cyd had difficulty reading proper level.
Thank you so much for these videos! These are really helpful 😊
thanks! This is my first car and I didn't know to park it flat before checking, my driveway has an angle to it so I could never measure it correctly
Thanks, Like most other lazy Mofos (and men) I hate to read the manual. I saw another video that said heck when te engine has cooled, but your advice is the correct advice. Thanks
I use to do like you say but toyota manual asks to warm up engine than wait for 5/10 minutes than check oil level. The reason is dirt level up oil since with warm or hot engine it melts. With cold oil/engine the level you see it's lower than real.
I keep checking like you suggest but if I can I compare level observed at cold and warm engine and there is a little difference.
Interesting. our C1 manual is crystal clear - cold engine.
@@CycloneCyd incredibile. Same engine...
Thanks for the video. Checking the oil level on our 2014 Toyota Aygo is a bit fidgety - the stick bends and wobbles easily and requires a bit of force to slot it home. I also find that the engine remains hot (after a 30 minute mainly motorway commute) for about 2 hours after parking before its cool enough to check the oil or remove the oil cap. As the car is used for a 30 mile each way work commute daily, we top up every 3 months or so. I use 5W30 as that is what's recommended by AA, Halford etc websites.
my friend, congratulations on the video. I wanted to ask you what brand of oil you use in that engine and what viscosity. i use it in 5w30 and i noticed it consumes it. Thanks in advance
We use 5w30. It is specified for 5w40 too, but I would use that in a hot climate. Check this: ua-cam.com/video/G34R5SAad74/v-deo.html
Thanks for the video
No problem!
Thank you so much you fucking hero fuck!! Having an issue today with engine oil light on and did not even realise it had to be checked cold my Christ I wish I could kiss you right now, you deserve a knighthood or at least 100k subscribers. Anyway that's me all done now thank you again hope you have a blessed and majestic day.
Sorry Alex, I missed your comment. Glad to be of assistance. Stay safe
Very nice your videos and very helpfull for beginners or mechanical idiots like me 😂
I live on a hill, on a 'normal' car I can drive somewhere, let it stand and then check the oil, but on this I will have to drive somewhere close and then let it stand, maybe 30 mins should be ok on a short distance?
thanks, but wtf mine is showing nothing after adding a liter
Dzięki. Wszystko jasne.
Thanks mate!!
Thanks
Should the oil not go above the second small circle on the oil dip stick? What's the maximum measurement?
Thanks alot. What oil are you using for it?
I recently bought one and changed everything for 0-15 but i think previously it had one that was a bit thicker
Here in the UK 5W30 is specified by Toyota. If you are in a hot climate, 0W40 or 5W40 would be appropriate.
Thanks for the tips Cyd! How regularly should we check?
@@jchiusyong I'd say at least fortnightly, weekly if you can. Or every 3-500 miles. These are prone to burning oil, so don't let it get low.
Thank you
You're welcome
Thanks!
Welcome!
How long do you need to wait for the oil you used to top up with to drain down and reach the sump and then show up correctly on the dip stick?
Thanks a lot
Peugeot 107 diesel, how much oil should I put in? Til max or middle?
Stupid question but is the dipstick inside the oil or else where under the bonnet, when I take the oil cap off there’s no dipstick to measure how much oil there is, absolute novice at this so I’m sorry if I sound dumb
my dipstick is somewhere on the left side of the oil cap/engine. oil cap is to fill the oil and the dipstick is to measure.
Thankyou 👍
How about oil spending. My 2006 aygo about 90.000 miles spends 0'3 L each 650 miles. Is it too much? The oil is 5w30 synth. Thanks
A litre per 2000 miles isn't too bad. I'll be doing a video on cleaning the crank breather valve soon, that can help oil consumption. keep an eye out
Have a city bug, apparently the exhaust is sucking and blowing, it isnt losing water but i have been told it is the headgasket also, on a low rev or when the rev drops to tick over it vibrates i thought it was the exhaust but i have just had a new one fitted then checked.. i'm stumped, i don't want to get stung for alot of money... any advice
"exhaust is sucking and blowing" - I really don't understand what this description is trying to tell me. Can you describe the symptoms in more detail? How does it drive, what is the engine doing?
"i have been told it is the headgasket" - by whom and based on what evidence? What diagnostic work have you done to come to this conclusion?
@@CycloneCyd I haven't either, the car isn't losing oil or water drives smoothly, I have a c1 my aunt has a 107 she has a new exhaust and heating radiator but both make a vibration when the rev drops when you rev at stand still, any advice or suggestions would be helpful
@@pynk1887 Could be something simple as the engine bushings/mounts or whatever they're called. They're usually made out of rubber and go bad eventually. When this happens it will cause engine vibrations but I'm only guessing here ofc. I had that problem on an old Renault Megané some years ago and it behaved just like that.
Hi. I have a Toyota Aygo 2011 car and I renew my engine oil 3 Times because after 1000miles all the time my engine oil is Decreasing. I don’t know it’s oil Burning or what happing. Do you know why is that?? Thanks
Try cleaning the PCV valve. I will have a video about this soon.
I found it impossible to check oil on my aygo when hot, oil all over the dipstick. too many bends and resistant points on the oil sheat. When cold no problem. Also quantity from min to max is more than 1 liter
Yeah, it's engineered to be checked cold ...
Which side is best?
Mine toyota aygo needs 1l from lower level to top. Spends about 300 ml.each 1000 km. Is it bad or normal? The milliage is about 165.000 km. And runs very nice
A litre per 3000km isn't too bad

Ho Joanjo, have 170'000 KM with mine and about same oil consumption, I would recommend change oil at 6-7000 km max 1 year, as there is the risk on these cars to have carbon / sludge build up on the oil scraping piston rings then oil consumption goes up more and trouble starts. Also check the color of your oil at dipstick, if it keeps clear light yellowish engine is healthy. And I will also as soon as possible do a gearbox oil change as did it only once in 170'000. I know of one gearbox that failed and oil was cooked inside. Toyota has very long vital fluids change intervals, but at the end we pay the bills for repair, not toyota. With proper attention these engines can last forever...Greetings from Slovenia
Thank you Vincent. Greetings from Catalunya
I check oil in 107 but with the engine not to cld and it is almost maximum. It is not ok ?
If it's stood for 2 hours or is just slightly warm to the touch this should be okay, IMO. The handbook does say 'cold' but gives no guidance on what this means.
Hello there. Some years ago for every time I checked the engine oil level, I got different level marks. Yeah it was a bit difficult and the funny part I was getting different oil level readings depending on what side of dipstick I was looking to. It took me a while to figure it out, the most accurate oil check level reading is on the dipstick side that measures the lower mark and when the engine is 100% cold (this may vary for different engines). Folks, this engine is greedy and I didn't know it... it burns (in my case) around 0.6L for 2000km so I fear a little hehhehe. I used to think my wife's Aygo needed some serious engine repair, sometimes I still do but everything is okay according to my mechanic. In the beginning I wondered where the freaking hell the oil was going, searched for leaks and nothing! By the way, here in Portugal it is recommended that we use 10W40. The lesson I learned: If it's not a problem, it's a feature, an extra! 😎
Yeah, 10w40 or 5w40 for the hotter climate. Thanks for the input
0.6 l for 2000 km its normal.this engine is bulletproof!
@@mikeallan7814 I would describe that level of consumption as 'acceptable' but not normal.. Normal would be zero. 300ml per 1000km is barely acceptable. At that level the sump would be empty between changes, making regular level checks vital
Same here, 08 Aygo petrol. Recentley I did an oil and filter change and poured 3.0 l of oil (it is recommended 3,1 l for oil and filter change). As usual I got 2 different reading per side of the dipstick. I usually find more accurate the lower side of the dipstick (the one pointing on the ground). The least visible mark on that side was slightly over the max and the clearest was just slightly over the min. I checked both cold and warm, without major differences. Keep us tuned folks!
Thanks for sharing.
quantos km tem seu carro?
No matter how much oil I put on mine it's always all greasy and transparent. I can't ever see a line anywhere.
Fucking legend. I was shitting myself after putting 1L in the engine after the oil light began flickering occasionally on a journey. Then when checking it after arriving it looked like I'd massively overfilled it. Seems like 1L is the difference between min and max, so unlikely to have overfilled. I'll find out once the engine's cold!
Stupid design; it's unlike any car I've had before, where the engine's supposed to be warm to read the oil.
Why is that difficult/hard?
It isn't really, if you do it according to Toyotas instructions. What makes it hard is people assuming you check the level warm (as you do with most engines) and being unable to get a reading because of the oil returning to the sump along the dipstick 😬 🤘
Why hasn't this car been recalled for the ticking.
It's a characteristic of a small 3cyl engine. It's not a fault and is entirely harmless, so they'd never recall for that.
@@droge192 well its not pleasant to hear your car clattering away the person your talking to looking at it like they expect it to die soon.
Thanks
Thanks
