Hi, i had a warning on the dash for criticaly low oil level, stopped the car and checked and it disapeared and the oil level said it was full so continued to drive, checked again and it said i need to add a litre , then checked again after some more driving and it said it was full, has anyone ever had this? Its on a 2018 sdv6

I think your options are a bit limited as It is not possible to manually check the level, it is not unknown for the sensor's to go faulty which is I believe a major job to replace on the diesel version, personally I would drain and check the quantity of oil in the engine to see how it compares to what is the correct amount for that engine and go from there.

It was serviced 4k miles ago and i reguarly check oil level and has always been at the full level,so i assume the oil level is fine but i dont know what else it would be other than the sensor

I took off the undertray today and noticed there is some oil on the bottom of the engine, i think it may be coming from the oil cooler, so im hoping this oil leaking has just ran down the loom and into the plug for the level sensor as there is a slight pit of oil in it when i unplug it, if this leak dosent fix it then its obviousy a faulty sensor, i have taken a few measurments today and it says oil level is fine

Not having a dipstick to check the oil level is one of the most stupid ideas in a long time. I'd love to meet the so-called engineer who thought that was a good idea. RRS HSE Dynamic SDV6 2014

I think that's what they like to call progress, bit debatable though really, but then again let's face it most of the dipstick's these day's appear to be behind the steering wheel instead.
