Only when it is down to the add line on the dipstick. On a new car that could be never (oil change time before you need to add), on some trucks I've driven it was daily. Get to know your car, start by check the oil every 1000 miles, if it is all set, move up to 2000 miles, if it is low, top it off and check sooner next time.

How much oil mk3 fiesta?
Depends on the engine. The Mk 3 fiesta was fitted with a variety of petrol engines and a diesel option. Petrol variants often take a bit less than 4 litres of oil, in which case a 4litre pack will give you a bit left over for topping up, whilst the diesel engines of those days often required more than 4 litres, so a 5L pack will leave a bit for topping up. If you are not sure which engine you've got, buy a 5L pack.

How do you check the ATF on a BMW 325i?
Answer.Depending on what year model we are talking about.If it has a dipstick then checking is easy, and topping up can be achieved via the dipstick tube (usually located at the rear of the engine compartment, and coloured yellow, as against red for the engine).If it has no dipstick, then it has "lifetime" oil in the transmission, and does not need changing. It may need topping up from time to time though, due to seal leakage.It can be checked by raising the car on a hoist, ensuring that it is level, and removing the filler plug in the base of the oil pan.Topping up is done by pumping the special oil (Castrol Transmax Z is compatable) into the hole until it overflows out, and inserting the plug quickly.
