Engine Oil Level Warning Light
I
~
I
When the
CHECK
OIL
CHECK
warning light comes on, it
indicates that the engine oil
level is
1
to
1
1/2
quarts
OIL
(0.9FL
to
1.4
L)
low.
If the warning light comes on after the
15
to
25
second
delay, check the dipstick level.
If
it reads low, the engine
oil should be brought up to the proper level (see “Engine
Oil” in the Index). The warning light or message will
remain
off
after the engine oil has been brought
to
the
proper level and the ignition has been
off
for eight
minutes. The eight-minute delay allows the majority of
the oil to drain back into the oil pan to prevent a false
low condition.
A
warning chime may also sound. The warning light
will come on for
two
to four seconds when the ignition
is turned on, as a bulb check to show you it is working.
If it doesn’t come on, have
it
fixed right away. It will
then go off. Even if you have a low oil level, it will go
off
for
15
to
25
seconds. Then,
if
the oil level is low, the
warning light will turn on for about one minute and a
warning chime may sound. If the oil level
is
okay, the
warning light will remain
off.
