The SDL's oil light is a PITA. If the oil level is not at the 3/4 point on the stick, the light comes on. I prefer to keep the level at about the 1/4 point.........maybe slightly less.........so the damn light is on all the time.  |
Well you better start keeping the oil at the level the light wants it to be. You have the advantage of owning the later W126s that have that low oil light - use it!! In fact this incident has put so much fear in me about this car that I'm thinking of selling it. At least right now it is in great shape and works perfectly. With a dead engine, I wouldn't even get crap for it. Considering the money I dumped in last year, this sounds scary. But we'll see.
