Wrong oil shouldn't stop it working all together. You should be using 20W/50 mineral based multi-grade. I've used in mine for 130,000 miles w/o any issues (Duckhams, but Halford's classic oil is an equvalent, but any 20/50 multigrade should be OK - the green stuff is just my preference).
Low oil level can prevent proper engagement - relay may have gone, or switch. I'd start by putting proper grade oil in box; filling to correct level and then see what happens.
You don't say if it was working and then suddenly stopped, or it is a new car for you on which the o/d has never worked.
There will be other more knowledgable than me, but that's the basic stuff covered. G |
