oil dail problem

[freebone16v]

my quantity dial has been a bit funny for a while....i know this as i frequently check the dipstick and the amount is fine but on startup its reading half the amount.....anyone know how to sort this....

i thought it may be a sensor?

any ideas

cheers neil

think urself lucky, none of mine have ever worked

My oil pressure indicator started to misbehave, i just disconected the sensor and cleaned it with some contact spray. Might just be that.

The min and max on the dial indiocate the two notches towards the bottom of the dipstick and anywhere between the two notches is fine really

[freebone16v]

didn't know that rich...would prefer it to be near the top...may have to top it up me thinks if thats the case

my dial is unreliable. sometimes its acurate but other times, it says its near full but is really nearly n minimum

[diggs04]

[Coops]
