Low oil level but no warning
« on: 25 April 2013, 19:32 »
Hi all checked my oil today and there was the smallest amount on the dipstick possible.
I checked it just in time how ever why did my oil light not come on?
When I turn key the oil light done light up so does work.
Put in 2l for it to get back to maximum

Mine was like , it was only when I went round a roundabout it came up on the dash. Bleep 3 times, then went off again.

Oil light will not come on even if you are at the very bottom of the dipstick as the engine still has 2.5litres of oil if it was to drop even more it mite come on
