Did it actually say "sensor" along with the oil icon?

Default I presume then it's not low, but it actually is the sensor >

I'm not positive since I haven't found it specifically in the manual - and admittedly havent searched the Bentley - but the icon alone indicates low oil; I'm not sure whether it saying "Sensor" is supposed to indicate some condition related to the sensor itself (connection or reading failure). Has it returned, or was it a one-time thing on that startup?

Default As you might infer, happened to me >

recently, in fact; I checked the oil, no problem, not low. I'll look in the Bentley this weekend and see if something turns up, but as I say, my guess is a failure of some kind is pending but not quite completely there yet.
