odd thing happened with the SDL
 

I'm sitting in traffic and the light with the oil can and wavy line under it comes on.. I freak out since im stuck in trafffic and cant get out of it to a parking lot to investigate. I just put in two gallons of oil 2k miles ago and theres no way it burned that much off and it doesnt leak any anyways so I am perplexed. After two minutes it went off..

I pulled over and saw no visible leaks or anything. Anyone have an idea?

What did the dipstick register?

The float switch that is supposed to detect low oil level sometimes fails. If it continues to do this, replace it. You'll need the oil pan to be low for this job so do it some time when you're changing the oil. make sure you replace the o-ring too.

well the car was just shut off and such so it wouldnt have been valid. I checked it this morning and it was in the middle of the marks.

My 300E triggers that annoying light all the time. It will come on whenever making a left turn if the oil is anywhere near the middle or lower on the stick. I'm too cheap to replace the $56 sensor though. Maybe the bulb will burn out eventually...

ill order one since im coming up on the 3k mark again .. i put alot of miles on the sdl lol

Mine does that also Don, but usually when it's running up on service time. It was bothersome for some time but a quick look at oil pressure is usually assuring. I affectionately refer to it as my time to service again light.

lol yeah I was like oil pressure is good so whats going on?

You need to update the miles in your sig!

I've been piling the miles on my gasser since my diesel is transmissionally injured.... :D

I totally did update it lol

Wow....well on the way to 300k! :eek:

lol yeah.. I drive a lot. It sucks living in BFE,FL.. I'm like little under an hour from each coast and 20 minutes from anything entertaining(disney is 20 minutes away, universal and seaworld 25 ish)

check your oil level sensor, wiring to the sensor and instrument cluster. check your grounds.

2nd 603 oil level sender post i read tonight. mine does same thing. sender is bad. replace or deal with it, i guess $56 aint too bad.

Mine comes on when I'm a quart low.
