‘DON’T BE A DIPSTICK’ ON NATIONAL OIL CHECK DAY - 25TH JULY
03 July 2008 - Comma

Check your oil to avoid breakdowns

Car care company, Comma, is launching National Oil Check Day on Friday, July 25, and is urging all motorists ‘Don’t be a Dipstick’: check your oil to avoid breakdowns, costly repairs and huge inconvenience.

The campaign, hosted at www.checkyouroil.co.uk, is designed to highlight the need for the UK''s motorists to maintain their cars, rather than rely on modern technology to keep their vehicles on the road.

All too often, motorists do not recognise the seriousness of their oil warning light coming on, preferring instead to view it as they do the petrol light and assuming they have plenty of time to top up the level.

“In fact, by the time the oil light illuminates on your dashboard, you may only have a handful of miles before serious, and expensive, damage is caused to your engine,” explains Comma’s Mike Bewsey.

The standard engine rebuild cost for the UK''s most popular buy, the Ford Focus, is £1,148, according to Europe’s leading technical data supplier, Autodata.

For advice and information about checking, changing and topping up your oil, visit www.checkyouroil.co.uk when the site goes live on National Oil Check Day.
