hmm, I have had my oil level sensor read low once already and it threw a code but no light. from what I was told it is common for the sensors to fail or not work right all the time. Get your car scanned for codes to see if one is there for it.

if its low, top it up with some approved oil (synthetic) usually happens on shutdown cuz most of the oil is still in the top end of the engine. if the oil level is good then have it ck'd out .. HTH |

Same problem with mine. I had that oil light when i switched off the car and when i measured the oil it appears that i was just above the end point. After 3-4 days the oil light came up while driving and tha oil level indicator was at "add 1 litre of oil". I added some oil and indicator got back to full. I had also changed my oils just 2000km ago... (it surprized me too)
