Are you asking where you top the engine oil up?

Don't think so...

It's the pressure switch/wiring playing up if it's the red warning light on the dash (assuming you haven't lost all the oil) or the oil pump FUBAR.

Do not run the engine until you have confirmed there is oil pressure or you run the risk of killing it. May be as simple as a blocked pick up strainer but needs investigation ASAP

Feb 2011 at 16:42 Just seen you post whilst I was typing the last one... Ignore my warnings as it's the Level Check light you're talking about! Is it at the top of the dipstick or just between the marks? The Level warning can come up when the level reaches half way between the marks

You need to be clear, is it:

A) The oil logo on the dash cluster (with revs and speedo)
B) The MID display, which also gives you MPG/Outside Temp/ect

Do you break V6's as often as TheBoy? Then you need tunnie's towing services, recovery costs are just the humiliation of being towed by 2/3's of an engine

Only saw his latest post after i replied, d'oh!

I'd take it back to the garage too, don't pay them anything either. That light was not on when it went in Thumbs Up!

slightly off topic i know but my shed sometimes throws up a low oil level on the mid during a good run at motorway speeds Wink

( NO oil presure light or rattles from the engine / engine runs sweet )

5 mins after you have slowed down, the light disapears

pull over and the dipstick shows oil at least half way up the stick.
anything below 60 mph and you get no problem.

i've had the sump off
oil pickup was clean so i just cleaned the level sensor and put it back together. still the same problem Sad

any idea's welcome
