#1: oil indicator Author: petem, Posted: Wed Aug 13, 2014 9:19 am ---- Hi. The oil indicator that comes on the dash when you first turn on the ignition says my oil level is at minimum. but after topping up and checking the dipstick, my level seems fine. any ideas?

There not that great even when working correctly, use the dipstick as its a much more accurate reading.
