An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

https://dullmensclub.com/

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

I've noticed that my car engine made the sound it makes when oil is low so I added some more. My car only shows the "oil to low" warning once its way to late. All other fluids are basically full. (Audi 80 b4 if anybody's interested)

A dull man with an old car would check his engine oil level regularly and add small amounts of oil as needed. I check mine each time I get gas.

You are destroying your engine through negligence. Not dull at all!

But for real that warning light is a low pressure light. Not a low level light. If it comes on either your oil pump has failed or your oil level is so low there is nothing for the pump to pump! If the engine now makes noise when the oil is low it's on it's last legs.

Be dull and start saving for a different car.

Does this car not have a dipstick?

Yes, but it's not as loud as the engine noise.

Yes it has one. It confirmed my suspicion that theres not enough oil.
