when I check oil levels...
When I check the oil the little clock( the waiting clock ) just cycles and the display just goes back to the main clock screen, and does not show me the levels..
anyone got any ideas? |

I find that when outside temps are around freezing, it takes about 6 miles and in 90o weather the oil is sufficiently warm in about two miles. And you will get the oil level reading while moving - it's the dash computer "Service Info" page which requires the car to be idling while stopped. Tom |
