Ok, so it has been a while since I looked closely at the electronic oil level indicator. Since I had recently had the oil changed, I thought I would check it out. So, turned the key one turn and it started flashing, as I remembered. I waited for a while, and then noticed a 'count down' clock to the left of it. It was on 54 minutes, and counting down. The car was already at operating temperature. My questions are:
1. How long does it take to get a reading.
2. What is this countdown clock for?
Thanks,
Mark
Thanks for all the information.... Mark from SC - Friday, 25 May, 2012, at 2:50:45 pm |
if the oil is viscous (thick, cold) and has been recently run - an hour is typical. *NM* grant - Friday, 25 May, 2012, at 8:19:10 pm |
