Dodgy oil sensor?

[JimBob78]

Hi all
Had my yellow oil light come on the other day with the +1ltr message so went to buy some oil but checked oil level again on way home and it showed 3 squares... It's since been mostly showing 1 square ok for the last week with the occasional 3 squares but never shown +1ltr since... So the question is, is it faulty or should I add a litre?
Cheers

Hi, if it flashed the add 1litre message I really wouldn’t like to ignore it as a little to much will be less catastrophic than to little

Except I'd not want to be overfilling if it was playing up.

Did the OP park on level ground? If it's a bit low then that could tip the warning.

I can't promise that it's not faulty but it does have a self test, the only way to really know is to drop the oil and refill.

It had been parked on a slight slope so maybe it's borderline? Don't understand why it would randomly show 3 squares though?
Would it throw up an error code if faulty?

I would add half a litre and see how it goes

I'll give it a try, cheers all
Happy Chrimbo!
