Re: FSS Oil Check question
You have to wait at least 5 minutes after you've turned off the engine before the oil icon will appear.
(by the way, there's another thread on this same subject going on right now).

wait for the oil can icon to appear (5-10 sec)
press left button twice.
If you haven't been sitting for 5 minutes or so the oil can will not appear.

Re: FSS Oil Check question
Well I have the same issue, since I did my first oil change all I get is a double wrench and miles to the next service but no oil level like I used to get. Any ideas?

Re: FSS Oil Check question
I had the same issue – patience patience patience.
For accurate results perform after engine is warm – mine says “Ok” when engine is warm – overfill when engine is cold.
1) Turn engine off
2) Wait 5 – 10 minutes
3) Turn key to on position
4) Wait wait wait
5) Oil Icon appears where trip mileage indicator is
6) Press **** left of speedo twice in two sec.
7) Read indication
I was always to impatient or had not let the XF sit for 10 minutes after running.
