Hello from Thailand, 

 

In this morning i got Oil level show up but i just change it and drive around 5,000 km.

 

should i refill it or change them all again.

Welcome.   ? Have you checked the dip stick and the oil level now. Or since the oil and filter service?

 

If the oil and filter you or whoever  fitted is correct and the oil is at the right level checked cold, then correct when the oil is up to temperature then there might be a fault with the sensor.

?

What engine does your Fabia have?

Thank you, 

the engin was CAVE should i used 5w-30 or 40 

sorry i cannot check that yet cuz im not will the car but I will told my GF to check it TMR

 

if just the engine oil were low can i just add more but if it sensor maybe i need to get back at BKK and find shop to replave it

I would be using 5w 40 FS even in Thailand and not 5w 30 FS III.

 

The correct oil should not need changed again, but i would have put in 3.9 litres and not 3.6 litres because that has been a mistake from day one with VW / Skoda.

 

The oil level needs to be up at the top of the cross hatch when cold, and again once the Oil Temp has got to an indicated 90 *oC and then after a few minutes.

 

Low oil will have it running hot. Low oil might have a Low oil Pressure light come on.

The oil can be 1.3 litres less than 3.6 litres and no warning light or message.

 

If you get a warning.

*You can open the bonnet, do nothing, close it and the warning goes out for 100 km. THE OIL IS STILL TOO LOW.*

I think you might be burning oil good sir 

Fingers crossed that 5,000 km ago there was not enough oil put in and over the period since the low quantity as meant the oil was working hard and got to the stage of giving a warning.

 

If the 2 litres added means it is now the correct amount in then all that you need do is see how that goes this week. 

 

If it has been running low oil for the past 5,000 km i would be replacing the oil and filter soon even though 2 litres has just been added.

 

MAKE SURE IT IS NOT OVERFILLED.   PARKED ON THE FLAT CHECK THE COLD OIL'S LEVEL.
