Toysrme Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 There's the yellow low oil level & red low oil pressure. For future reference: Low oil level is inconsequential. You can drive indefinitely if it's low on oil, so long as it can pick-up the correct amount of oil. The top quart is nothing more than extra. (Low oil level lights around a half quart under the top fill quart). If low oil pressure is EVER seen after cranking, the engine needs to be shut off immediately. The reason is that the oil pump can deliver enough pressure by spitting oil & building air pressure in the system to turn the low oil pressure light off.

camlex Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 Hello, Who changed the last oil? May be he added 4 qts. when you on low marks it's telling you are 1 qts low. just check oil level every 1000 miles. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
