D&D=GOOD - we smashed dracolich again.  Next week we face a hoard of rampaging Lizardmen.  I will be playing the part of Legolas, at least until I run out of arrows.

ghostbritain appears to enjoy burning money.  It is the height of summer and his central heating is still on full.  Did you know you can tell it to just heat tapwater and not radiators, or just turn the radiators down?  Crazy, man.

Raj's oil lamp is coming on occasionally.  He probably wants some oil.  Does a 2 litre engine require 2 litres of oil?  This is something I do not know.

Car oil.

No, you need to put an amount in, let it settle and then read the dipstick. (Making sure the car is level BTW, unlike i did, too much oil is nearly as bad as not enough and draining out the excess is a pain).

If your oil lamp is going on when you driving, you should probably start by putting in half of a 5L bottle and top up from there. And indeed should probably stop at the nearest garage and do that before you go drive much further.

What make, model and engine size is Raj, you can easilly find the oil capacity on the internet.

5L? Jeebus.

It's not actually coming on while driving - just occasionally, for a second or two. Sometimes when starting, this morning when I braked sharply at the bottom of a hill (into the car park at work - there's a small dip at the bottom to channel the water and I didn't want to drop into it at full speed).
