Re: False "Low Oil Light"
Well just like my last mercedes I fix one thing and another goes wrong. Very recently I have been driving and am getting what I expect to be this low oil light. It has a picture of the the engine oil canister with a squiggly line under it. I am going to assume this means "low engine oil" I still need to check my levels which I for right now are going to assume are ok since I changed the oil 3k miles ago I know there were 8-8.5 quarts in there when I got it changed and haven't experienced this light since I changed 3k miles ago. I will check the oil level on my lunch when the car has cooled down to see where it is at and when I return to lunch after the engine is warm and post my results, again assuming I am fine. I recently just changed my Crankshaft positioning sensor and got the sprint booster put in which I don't think have any correlation to this problem since I got the light a few days before these were installed. The light usually will stay on for about 3 minutes and shut off. The longest I have seen the light stay on was about 10 minutes. I have read a few other posts about oil lights and see that it could be oil pressure but I am seeing no leaks around the cap at all. Anything you guys could come up with to help would be appreciated I really hope it's not another sensor going bad. I really can't afford to have more stuff keep going on on this car being that I just had to buy all new tires and rims and the crankshaft sensor. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks!
