I get that message in RED everytime I start my car since I have bought it. I had it serviced and the correct amount of oil added according to the manual. The last service I replaced the oil level sending unit in the bottom of the oil pan. The replacement did nothing. I have a couple questions, the connector at the sending unit is a three wire connector with which I only have juice on one of the wires is that correct? Also does anyone know if I could have fixed the problem with the new sending unit and just simply need to have that warning light erased out of my cars computer @ the dealer? Thanks

Any suggestions on this issue? Im still having this problem and just found this thread in my archives and thought I would see if anyone had any ideas? Thanks

wow, I'm surprised nobody has chimed in... is there a level sender on the side of the pan?

I'll start with the stupid question first--has the oil level been checked with the "shop service tool" (aka "dipstick")? Each MB i've owned has been about spot-on by adding the amount of oil in the manual, but in this case i think i'd check for an overfill with a distick to see if actual level equals electronic level.

After confirming oil level is correct, have the code read and reset (most scan tools should do that one) to see if it may indeed be a lingering code.

Took it to my mechanic today and he found two out of the three wires that goes to the oil level sending unit had came into. Patched the wires and that took care of the problem. He said they were into right below the EGR valve around where the engine and trasmission meet at the top of teh bell housing. Glad to have it taken care of, this is the first time I have driven the car and no malfunctions have popped up in the instrument cluster.

Congrats. I was 12% right lol
