Leaving the art shop see that there is a light on the dashboard, a small orange symbol of an oilcan over a liquid type surface. It is a heiroglyph, and the only way to find out what this means is to look into the manual. Resolve to drive to the service station and to let them explain it, Tell the navigator to find the shortest way to the service garage near Bruckberg.
The system cooperates nicely, and after a quarter of an hours drive arrive at the little motor shop.
The woman at the reception knows her regular customers, and calls for the boss. He gets into the car and starts the engine.
There is no light there, and there is no place where it could have been.
Still, he is humourful and opens the bonnet of the car to check the oil.
There is no oil on the dipstick, this is a poor sign. Meanwhile. the research in the manual has led to the information that the light is an indicator that there is insufficient motor oil in the engine. The mechanic calls one of his minions who goes and gets a one litre can of oil. This is carefully poured into the engine.
Pay the man for his trouble and for his oil, and leave.
The car's engine is much quieter now. Could it be that there was insufficient oil left over from the last oil change?
Nobody will ever know, and it is an old car
This was all on the twentyeigth of February, and it is now past midnight on the first of March
