Engine oil
It is normal for your engine to consume oil and
the rate of consumption will vary with many
factors. The oil consumption may be higher when
the vehicle is new or if you frequently drive at
high engine speeds.
It is important to follow the service schedule for
oil and filter changes and to regularly check the
level of your oil in between.
You will only be able to estimate the oil
consumption after the vehicle has been driven
for several thousand miles or kilometres.
NOTE: Lubricant additives could damage
the engine or gearbox. Damage caused
by such additives is not covered by the
vehicle warranty. Further information
is available from your McLaren retailer.
NOTE: The oil pressure warning light is
not a low oil level indicator.
Checking the engine oil
1. Ensure the following conditions are met:
• Vehicle stationary and positioned on
a level surface.
• Parking brake applied.
•
Sport or Track powertrain mode

• Engine running.
• Neutral selected and the foot brake

NOTE: The foot brake must be applied
for the entire duration of the oil level

the Driver Display to access the oil level
check, see Oil, page 3.11.
