I jumped in my car at a friends place (after my car had been sitting for about 2 hours) and before I started I checked the oil.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1Original post

I just had a strange issue with the oil indicator. I jumped in my car at a friends place (after my car had been sitting for about 2 hours) and before I started I checked the oil. To my surprise the oil level was 2 bars down. 2 days ago it was fine. I drofve home, and checked it again to be sure, before adding more oil. I waited the 5 minues or so, and the oil level came up perfect. Lucky I didn't go and add a litre or more of oil. I would have overfilled it. Has anyone else had issues with the oil indicator?

POST 2Original post

i have the same thing i think its normal ,...sometimes one bar down, then two, then full ,it all depends on how long the car has been standing so i wouldnt panic

POST 3Original post

One thing that is very helpful is to make sure you check it in the same place every time , e.g. in the garage before leaving for work. it's important to check it on level surface ,not only level front to back,but side to side. It is VERY sensitive to any incline. When I first got it ,I would check it too often and I would get readings all over the map ... which immediately translates into a hundred imaginary oil burning problems. Save yourself the agony and check it in the same place under same conditions . Its right where it was the day I bought it . Don
