Out of the blue the other day my oil level light illuminates as I am heading down the road. Scared the crap out of me so I quickly pulled off the road and checked the dip stick. Oil level is fine, right in the middle of the upper and lower marks just like it's been since I last changed the oil.

The light now comes on occassionally but as before the level remains fine. Pressure is good as well, just below 2 bar when hot and of course pegs at 3 as soon as I come off idle.

So, I assume I have a flaky Oil Level Sender and will replace at the next oil change unless someone can offer a different opinion.
