Default Low oil level
Keep getting the low oil level but the level is perfect. Have cleared several times but within minutes it comes back. Suggestions?

Sounds like the oil level sensor is going bad.

See this post for detailed information

If the oil level is OK, probably the sensor is going out.

Mine did that too and quit when I changed the oil and filter. Hasn't done it since. Don't know but that's what happened to me.

Check the conector and wires if they check out ok it sounds like a possible bad sensor.
