Title: Engine oil indicator?
Post by: vag12 on December 18, 2012, 08:00:21 pm

Recently everytime i check for engine oil (once a month) its aways nearly empty which is really bad i know but my concern is why doesnt the trip computer alert me as it got more and more empty?
Is there a sensor that detects low engine oil in the sump or anything similar?

Check every week.

Oil indicator will light if too low.

I've heard of engines run dry whilst people are waiting for that indicator to illuminate  :surprised:

Check it regularly is my advice  :happy2:
