Please add max 1qt oil. You can drive on.

Hey all,

This warning has come on my 2021 Octavia, so I have dutifully added 1ltr of oil, but the warning won't go away.

Checking the dipstick and everything is looking good, it was low, but after adding the oil it is about halfway on the dipstick marker. I'm guessing a faulty sensor, but does anyone have any other ideas? Or is there a way to reset it?

Thanks in advance!

Tom

If it is still only half way up the dipstick, then it would be a good idea to add some more. Do it in small stages to give it time to flow down. As it stands just now, starting and running it may clear it. But, personally, I would prefer it to be at the upper level.

Ok thanks. Will give it a go. Appreciated.

Your oil level must have been very low if adding 1 litre only brought it to halfway between Min and Max - how long has it been since oil level was last checked?

AFAIK, oil level warning will temporarily reset if hood is opened, then reclosed - even without adding oil!
