Commuting to work this morning, just before I stopped at work, my oil sign came on. I parked the bike, checked, and the little glass window was clear, nothing, niks, empty. I let it stand for 5 minutes or so, to cool down a bit, and checked again. Still nothing.

I bought the bike with 22 000km on the clock, and was told that it had been serviced on 20 000km. It is now on 26 000km, and no oil? Is it normal? Might there be a problem? My bike is telling me it is due for a service, could that be the reason?

Then, what oil do I buy? 15W40 Shell Helix? How many bottles?
