Check oil level light?

[mbogosia]

I keep getting a check oil level light but my level is fine. This happens once every 5-6 days or so. I keep checking my dipstick and it is perfect level wise. Do I need to do something or should I just d=shrug it off for now. Oh yeah I have a 95 525I Auto.

should be a message which appears in your Check Control display...

it's low on the engine block and it gets mucked up.

Gently try to separate to the plug and clean the contacts with a electronic contact cleaner.

Beware the plastic plug body for the sensor may disintergrate in your hand, like mine did.

If so...

Reply back and I will walk you through a fix.

Thats what I meant, I just had to many Brews at the mexican restaurant. Anyways I'll try to clean the plug first and see if that works. Can I reach that plug from the top of the engine?

get under the car and look at the front driver's side of the oil pan for the sensor line and plug. it's usually a red colored line with the a three contact Bosch type plug.
