OK, so I serviced my micra 6 months ago when i got it, changed it to a halfords filter, and some Mobil 1 5W30 oil.
This was fine in the colder weather (warmed up nicely) but now its getting hotter, its burning oil.
ive done around 12,000 miles since i got it, and it only seems to burn it most when sitting in traffic.
First and second gear are the biggest culprits.
Today, when i was leaving my girlfriends house to go out, i was sitting in traffic and the Red oil light (i presume to indicate its getting too hot) was on, now, am i right in saying that the thermostat isnt opening?
When i start the car, i can hear a sound of water squelching, and running. its the CG10 DE.
Im doing another service soon with a new air filter, plugs, oil, filter, and a good clean. just wondering whats the matter with it really...
