December 14, 2025Dec 14 My recently acquired 2010 3.6 Outback has had its oil level warning light come on. The oil level is fine on the dipstick, so what do I do just take it to a specialist???
December 15, 2025Dec 15 If the oil level is physically fine sounds like it may be a sensor issue, def get it to a specialist to check out whats going on.

December 15, 2025Dec 15 hot or cold can change the level a bit, but if its dipping correctly then theres obviously oil there :D where ya taking it to out of interest?
December 15, 2025Dec 15 Author Tetbury Motor Centre and would you believe I drove there with the light on right the way to switch off in their car park. They started it up and the light was out and checks showed no faults. I'm now wondering if there's some timer or something that turns it off after a period of running. At the moment the issue has gone away.
December 15, 2025Dec 15 Welcome to sods law. It knew, i'm telling you it knew!!!!! lol At least no big bill for now I'd keep an eye on your oil level by checking it regularly just in case the sensor is on the way out and that nothing funky is going on
