Re: Warning Beeper and HI symbol for oil ICON
It is not an "unknown reason", I've been a Crossfire owner since July 6, 2009. I did my first oil change that fall, had the alarm light going down an on-ramp a few days later.
Checked in here, got the lowdown: "Mark, anything over 8 quarts will set off the alarm."
I've done COUNTLESS oil changes since then, 8 quarts does it.
In 2010, I brought home my second Crossfire - and it was lighting the alarm on the way home. The car got an oil change that weekend - with 8 quarts.
My current SE came with only 8 in it, as the previous owner apparently informed PEP BOYS in Orlando of the 8 quart capacity. Personally, NO ONE is allowed to change the oil on any vehicle I own, other than myself.

8 litres is 8.45 US quarts.
Can I take it that COUNTLESS is more than ten fingers? ��

Re: Warning Beeper and HI symbol for oil ICON
For those that had the warning light come on, do you recall if you were taking any turns aggressively enough to force oil to one side of the oil pan? That would trigger the HI level indicator if the amount of oil near the sensor was excessive. An engine oil system with 8 liters added during an oil change could do that with some aggressive driving - ?..

Someone also said that the oil quantity for a base was not stated but it was for an SRT, surprise it is the same basic engine. Where that info came from is a question, an NA Manual would not mention the SRT.
On here we get erroneous opinions stated as true facts when in fact they are trumpisms, a word derived from ye olde English expression ‘trumped up’ which comes from trumpeted.

Me of all people doing something like that? I was referring to facts stated which are in fact fake news, personally I think we are seeing some Russisn involvement here, some Russian cyber agent salting the forum with disinformation.

Re: Warning Beeper and HI symbol for oil ICON
Good Morning everyone.
I tried to check the oil level in the car and I tried all the recommenced ways to do this and nothing . The trip meter stays blank. - Maybe I should try this while speaking German
All I succeeded at was to reset my tripometer twice. I tried You Tube. I tried using the instructions that were posted.. nothing but a blank screen
But I do have a clock and one wrench and a -730.. which I know is the FSS code in the accumulated mile display and should be reset.. but even that does not reset when tried. You here beeping , but still a clock a wench and -730
Could the level sensor in the oil pan be bad?
Can we reset these items with a scanning tool?
Thanks for any help I can get

Re: Warning Beeper and HI symbol for oil ICON
The warning beep and "HI" is separate from the reset of the FSS. The FSS reset IS frustrating for a lot of us. I had a HELL of a time resetting it in my 05s, but in the 07 SE, it is easy.
The "HI" indication is usually caused by too much oil in the pan, I found long ago that 8 quarts, not 8.5 quarts, was the proper fill. If you are putting 8.5 in there, THAT is your problem.
The scan tool does not access "user adjustable" items like the FSS. Yes, the sensor can be bad, but most often when the sensor goes south, you get a LOW indication.
I would urge you to disconnect the car's battery for one minute and THEN try resetting the FSS.

Re: Warning Beeper and HI symbol for oil ICON
Resetting the FSS is a PITA!!! It is quite sensitive to any deviation from the procedure. Wait too long and/or press too soon and the FSS won't reset. Try the attached procedure and the FSS should reset itself. It may take you a couple of attempts. Always does for me. And zeroing out the ODO is also a PITA during this reset procedure.

Re: Warning Beeper and HI symbol for oil ICON
Thanks guys,
But the first problem is that I cannot check the oil level in the car. I get a blank screen - No Hi and no Low. Could the oil level sensor be bad in the car and is not responding to the inputs?
Thanks dedwards I will try the reset again. I did disconnect the battery for 10 minutes and tried again last week "but still a clock a wench and -730" Like a slot machine..
I just checked the dip stick and it is almost to the top notch

Ive never heard of it happening, but there is that "first time for everything..." saying that comes to mind.
Not sure what you can do, ripping the dash out for that little switch seems a bit extreme. I check my oil with the stick, using the panel button for that almost NEVER works for me, altho resetting the FSS is easy for me - I do not know why.

Re: Warning Beeper and HI symbol for oil ICON
Ok - I just was successful in resetting the FSS - thanks for the new instructions.. Mine went a little different but I finally saw the 7000 indicator and the clock, wench and -730 went away. YES !
I just got the car from the dealer and he may have put in too much..
I did also see the oil symbol. Now I am going to use the other instructions to check the level
pray for me !

Re: Warning Beeper and HI symbol for oil ICON
I've owned my 2007 Coupe for nearly 11 years. And I have never checked the oil level using the dash electronics. I do know it works because I got the HI level reading several years back when I performed an oil change and tried to put 8 liters in the engine. While up in Fontana NC for a Crossfire weekend, the HI warning came on multiple times whenever I drove aggressively thru those "twisties". Came home & siphoned out about 1/2 quart and never got the HI warning again. They gave me an engine oil dipstick, so I use it! Eight quarts gives a reading of nearly FULL on the dipstick, so I figure things are okay.
