Post by baz57 »

when i turn my ignition on, it shows the oil level as empty, although its full, it goes off when the car is started, is it a sensor or something else? can anyone help please.

Could be a dodgy sensor, wiring or gauge. If your oil level gauge also serves as an oil temperature gauge and that works, then you can limit it to the wiring or sensor
