i tried but for some reason there is not a full mark on my dipstick. this is my first volkswagen and i am not sure if there is supposed to be a actaul full line or if the full mark is where the knurls end on my dipstick. i am used to looking at a full line on my other cars. i feel like a dipstick asking these questions
you should read the manual
it sounds stupid but they have alot of little tidbits that will save you some pain and angwish
espcially with things concerning oil

can somebody tell me what the oil warning light means when it is flashing . i just bought a 99 passat and there was no owners manual with the car
crash893 you dummy. You should read his post he has lot of little tidbits that will save you some pain and ang
uish. Tidbits like he's the second owner and he did not get the manual with the car when he bought it. :wink:
As for the oil pressure light blinking. I would not drive the car as there is possibility that the engine may seize. As stated above, change oil and see if it helps.
You may also try to flush the engine before the oil change. Add the flush just before you change the oil, and let it work for 30 minutes. Then drain and fill with new oil.
Use 0W-40, 5W-40, 5W-30, or 10W-30 oil.
