What does it mean when your oil level is fine?
If you check your oil level and find that the level is fine, it may be a sign of a faulty fuel pump. Unfortunately, if this is the case, it’s not something that you can fix yourself at the side of the road.
Why does the oil light keep coming on?
Usually comes on after about 10 mins of driving. I’ve checked the oil level and it’s absolutely fine (from cold on level surface). It will go out every now and then but will always come back on again a few minutes later. The beeping is starting to get on my nerves.
What’s the difference between red light and oil level?
Red light with an oil can is low pressure, yellow light with an oil can and a wiggly line underneath is oil level. If you’re sure the oil level is correct then it’s probably a sensor/connector/wiring fault. I refuse to grow up. On the B’s you can have both oil pressure (pic of an oil can) or a level (pic of an oilcan with a wavy line underneath).
What should I do if I see an oil warning light?
If there are no obvious signs of a leak, locate the dipstick (you may need to refer to your car’s manual if you’re unsure where everything is). Remove the dipstick and wipe it clean with a rag or cloth (if you forget to clean it before you check the level, you will get an incorrect reading).
When does Taht light come on but oil level?
there are two oil sensors. One is for oil pressure and another one for oil level. Oil gauge has also a red light at its bottom and taht light should come on only if the pressure is critically low. But I studied some topics about it and I found out that that red light will come on also if there is open circuit on wires or on the sensor itself.

Why does the Check Engine light come on when the oil level is low?
If the oil level sensor is working correctly, it will trigger the oil light to come on your car, truck or SUV when the oil level is low. It’s also common for it to trigger the check engine light if the sensor is damaged or faulty in any way.
