Strange thing I just had Tire Light Low Come on & Then Low Oil Light all with in 4 Min of Each Other , so Kinda Freaked Out !
Approx 89F and Running Hard in Heavy Traffic – with – Lines of Big Rig Trucks for like Miles – Must have been Moving Day , Delivery Day &
Whole Sale Move these Items Before Tariff’s
Kick in Again Day , LOL
So Freaking OUT ~ Went to First Pull Off Slower on Far Right Lane almost in Pull Over Lane as Traffic was Bearing Down Hard ..
Parked & Checked -everything – 1 Rear Tire Down 5psi , well those weren’t checked in 3.5 Months , OK . .
OIL Just Below Half on Hatch Marks – Been Running , so Now Scratching Head ..
Never had this Happen did Quick Search any Decides to Go with Failing Oil Sensor . . ( Would have been Nice to Have this Read Out Unit )
My DIAGNOSTIC READER was Home .. DARN IT .. !
Drove Home Back Way more like 57 Mph vs 82 Mph in Heat & HD Hot Traffic – Heat off that Many Riggs must take Effect ..
In Next 30 miles of Back Road which were Cooler & Forest = Lot more Shade . . 82F & Cool Roads ..
LOW _ Oil _ Sensor just went out ..
Noted : It’s with in Time for Oil Change , so did _ Usually Wash Out with Marvel – I Recall Last Time – I used like 2 0z. for 85 Miles ..
did almost 4oz. for 25 miles .. As I was also Concerned Maybe Oil Filter Collapsed or something ..
I have read where there is a Consensus that Oil Sensor Might also Be Oil Quality Issue , seeing i was close to end of ” Normal Oil Change Cycle ” . .
Crossing My Fingers – Filter wasn’t some How doing Above Mentioned . .
In 3.2’s Case & Oil – I believe it was TIME – that – Time is Limiting Issue . . Being Senior & Trying to Keep Up with 110 Other Things – 3.2 had Not Gone that Far in Miles ..
But did Exceed Time Limit that Many Impose . . Recommend . . Never Bumped into this , Before . .
After a Very Thorough Full Change Out which included ( Extra Wash Out with Double Marvel 3-4 Oz ) I wanted see Issue of – Low Oil Light – Lit & Why ?
Checked everything & Noted NOTHING . . Other then when I Placed almost 4 Oz of Marvel vs 2 Oz . . Started & Ran way Smoother . . , so did Harder Driving
to Clean Out 3.2 Unit ..
So Far No Light and Connections all Look Good will be doing a Scan Later Today ..
Interesting Thing – When I refilled after Normal Change Out – In order to Rise Oil Level – to – Mid Way on Stick Marking Hatch Marks even after 24hrs of Resting in Garage
Very Flat Floor – Had to Place ~ 8qts & 5.5 Oz to Hit Mid Way Point .. ? Just Seems More then Normal . .
Could there have Been 1/4 Qt of Crap in Motor that Finally Decided , after all that Heat & Second Wash Out – Extra Marvel = Pulled Crap 100% Out ?_?
As 8 Qts. & 5.5 Oz. seems More then Enough to hit Top of Hatch Marks . . Yet Not There !
