The dashboard display said to
stop the car and have it serviced. I stopped and restarted the car and
the display disappeared. What should I do?
Answer: Check the oil level on the engine after it
sits for 5 minutes. If the oil is low, add oil till it reaches the top
line or full mark. If it seems excessively dirty or has a burnt smell,
get it serviced ASAP; waiting could cause possible future engine damage.
Oil and filter service is cheap, engines aren’t. Make sure that you
change the oil with the correct Synthetic oil of the correct SAE grade, your mechanic should know what that is.
Also, it could be that the sensor could have a fault, but most likely
its low on oil. If its not low on oil or the oil doesn’t have a burnt
smell to it, take in for service to have checked out… hopefully its just
a oil pressure sensor defective and not something else.
Hope this will help you.
