DIC reads low oil level
When first starting in the morning I got a "Low Oil Level" readout. I checked the oil and it was right on the mark. I hit the "reset" button and it was gone, only to come back every so often for two more days of driving. The third day after filling with fuel, it didn't come back and hasn't since. Anyone else have a similar problem? Not to worry???? :flag

My car was parked at a slightly downhill grade overnight. I was down about a half of quart. Added that, but it kept on coming back every 13 miles or so on the ride home. Shut the car off several times to along the way(food, reststops, etc.). Will see if having it parked over night in my garage will solve as some one else suguested. WIll keep you posted. :yesnod:

Thanks for your input....It had been parked on a slight incline...facing down hill. I was surprised it took so long to reset itself...(several hundred miles) :confused:

MIne went away also after letting the car cool down and being parked on a level surface overnight. Drove it today about 300 miles and no problem. :yesnod:
