Morning all,
Noticed on Sunday that my oil level lights have been getting lower, with no sign of oil leaks in the garage or when parked elsewhere, I am assuming this is use and normal. Do I ask RPM Technik what they used at last service and top up with the same, or as it will be serviced in April and have a full change, not be too much of an issue using any 5w 40 or 0w 40 (according to 996 The Essential Companion) to top it up?
And, as I think I'll be getting less use over the next two months, would like to attach the battery terminal trickle charger to the battery permanently, so that I can easily plug and unplug the CTek. Now, been reading a lot on making sure battery is disconnected to avoid any shocks to myself and the car, but if I disconnect a terminal, doesn't the alarm go off and things get reset?
Can I not add a nut to the existing terminal and secure the connectors between that and the existing nut on the battery, without needing to disconnect? Or is that still unsafe?
I have the cigarette lighter adaptor, but after not using it for 6 weeks whilst we were in Australia and Tasmania earlier this year, I came home to a flat battery and don't want to rely on that method. This Yuasa battery was new in May, but I don't want to have it run flat.
Hope that makes sense.
