Author	Subject: Oil Level Gauge Q
iplay Seasoned Pro Location: Number Wang Registered: 18 May 2006 Posts: 3,268 Status: Offline	Post #1 On startup. key in 2nd position. oil gauge shows the oil level. The problem is it randomly shows different levels. Sometimes on the white mark just before the red and other times half way. It used to just sit on the white mark near the red. The oil is correctly topped up and the car is driven each day.
