National Oil Check DayAt least once a month, you should check your engine oil. It could save you thousands of pounds in repair bills and the likelihood of an engine failure leaving you stranded in a dangerous situation - and it should only take a minute of your time.

On Friday 25 July, we invited Britain's 35 million motorists to pop the bonnet and check the oil level in their car.
