How do I check the oil on my DBS

[P14SMM]

Please help Im a fool and have left my manual at work and need to know is there a method of checking the oil on my DBS ?
This may seem a crazy question but my vantage had to be ran for an amount of time first.

Also what's the best oil?

Thanks

???????? Isn't it the same as with the V12 Vantage i.e. use the yellow dip stick to the right of the engine bay and check.

Would think so, I'm just concerned. Is the v12 dry sumped like the v8?

[tonyhall38]

no....its a v12....0w 40 oil....

same as a DB9, normal wet sump. So does not need to be run for 30 secs ala vantageV8.

Is castrol edge 0-40 ok?

That's what I use in the DB9, so I can only assume so

[tonyhall38]

mobil 1 is the recomended....

Good job you're not having to take your driving test at the moment otherwise you would have just failed

I'm not normaly this thick ( honest) I was just worried about putting to much in!
