Hello Forum
I am pretty frustrated with a recent issue I have discovered in my wife's car of 137,000 miles. After driving the car approximately 1200 miles she was getting a Engine Oil Level Low message on her dash. Being the preventative guy that I am, I figured it is a good idea to top it. But after reading some forums I began to worry that the problem could be bigger than expected. Recently I had an oil change done at the dealership and asked them to do an oil consumption test on the car and miraculously the car made it to 1,647 before the Engine Oil Level Low message came up on the dash. The dealership tells me that it ONLY lost 1.1 quarts of oil in that time.
Now to my question, can this be a faulty Oil Sensor that is firing erroneous messages to the dash?
*Side note, as soon as I asked for an appraisal for the car, WOW did they jump all over my car and tell me how they loved this model... ughhh
