Oil problem

[DutchBart]

I'm working on the car and one of the things I have to do is drain the oil and fill it up with new oil, draining the oil and replacing the oil filter is no problem, but once I start filling it back up, I end up using approximately 2.5 cans of oil, where according to the game I'd only need 80% of one can of oil, after I've added 2 cans of oil it's still saying that it's low on oil, the dipstick doesn't tell me anything either, after a third full can of oil it'll stop filling and will just fill the funnel once it's almost empty and it'll tell me that it's too full, I'm not sure what's going on but wither the car needs more then 4 quarts of oil, or there is less then 5 quarts in the oil can...

I'm really enjoying the game though

I had this; hadn’t got the funnel to snap onto the intake properly.

[DutchBart]

maybe I'll have to double check that but from what I could tell it was on there, I made sure it turned green before I put it on there

Making the funnel and drain pan handle better is on our current task list. If you are able to reproduce this and it isn't the funnel, please post again so we can investigate.


Is the game giving you a low oil symptom?

[DutchBart]

when I run the test it says oil is low, if I let the robot helper finish the job and then run the test it says the oil is fine, three full cans of oil will give me a overfill problem, but that should already happen after one full can of oil since it'd be overfilling by a quart

Dutch,

I get close to the oil inlet hole in the valve cover, putting it at eye level. I then bring out the funnel, and lower it to the hole, then it snaps into position. It is correct when there is some air space below the funnel, above the hole.

If the funnel snaps differently, you will lose oil when filling. You will also see something strange (like a fluttering / splashing animation) at the bottom of the funnel when the oil level gets low. I think this is interference between various meshes (funnel, cover and oil animation) colliding.

i have the same problem, try several times but no luck i try different ways but nothing the oil stick does not mark anything

If you are having trouble with oil changes, can you join the discord and discuss there? I'm not able to reproduce it. A quick check with some other users and they haven't had any issues with oil changes.

the solution is use the funnel with the middle button of mouse and work with colour green is ok position
