oil level stuck at 3/4
Saw the oil level wen to 3/4 so I added a little oil and took it for a drive, but it continued to stay there. I was paranoid so I did an oil change and still nothing?. Could it be a bad sensor?

Did you refill it with 6.5L of oil?
The oil level sensor will first perform a static measurement after about 5 minutes. It will then do a dynamic measurement when you drive. I cant find the technical pdf anymore but a dynamic measurement is the most accurate measurement from what I recall it saying. Drive around for a while and if it doesn't change, add 1/3 then drive around more. I wouldn't try adding more after that. The intended operation of the sensor is to refill it with 1 full quart when it's at the minimum. It'll tell you after you park. There's no need to top it off in-between. |
