Oil light

Post by Jdun5746 »

Possibly a stupid question, but here goes.

My oil light came on today on the way home from work checked the oil level it's fine but I topped up a bit anyway just incase, and nothing its still on so does the oil light come on when the car is due for a service? It's due for its 1st service, so it's booked in on Tuesday

Yes the oil light comes on to remind you of a service. Mine also displays it on the stereo every time you turn it on (until reset). Something along the lines of "Engine oil service due. Change now"

What would display if I had a real oil problem while the service indicator was on?
