Just a quick update on this. I have an appointment tomorrow to have the oil level sensor checked out...which I do believe is bad.
I ordered the 3.0 dipstick which came today ahead of my appointment so I could check myself. In addition to the first quart I added on my trip at the suggestion of the service center after my first low oil warning (service guy believed they may have under-filled), as well as an additional 1/2 when my car registered a red ADD OIL IMMEDIATELY warning on the second day, it appears from the dipstick that the service center had already overfilled it themselves by 1 quart. The pencil point is how far up the oil was registering after warming the car to normal operating temp, turning it off, and waiting a couple minutes before testing the level.
Can someone explain to me why everyone is ordering a dipstick? Is there not one in the car...and if not, where do you put it at?
They stopped including a dipstick and want you to rely on just the sensor instead. It seems like that has gone bad for a number of people. There's a plug where the dipstick should go, so you can just pull that and replace with the dipstick if you buy one.
