Dic Say Oil Level Low But Dip Stick Says It Is High

[BruceW]

The DIC sometimes shows a warning that the oil level is low. I have checked the oil level twice and it is above the cross hatched area on the dip stick when parked on a level surface with the engine warm. It stays the same after sitting for several minutes.

 

I bought the truck December 31st 2009 and first experienced this problem on Sunday the 3rd. I called the dealer when the light came on and they said to add Mobil 5W30 dyno oil. I bought a bottle but did not add since the dip stick shows the level to be high.

Take it in man.

Probably the level sensor is stuck.

The dealer changed the oil level sensor and removed some oil.

 

It cost $99 to diagnose and $28 for parts.

 

I guess the selling dealer decided to overfill the oil instead of replacing the sensor
