The oil sensor light came on saying 1 quart low I added one quart and the light is still on. I thought it may be lower than just one quart so I kept adding another quart one at a time to see if it would go away the light won't go away. I added four quarts in there and I still have a light. It drives better now with the extra oil. Could It still below? I don't believe I overfilled it because I drove it about 20 to 25 miles and had no problems. Do you think it's still low or I overfilled it? I don't think I overfilled it I think it might be still low of oil. Please help, thank you.

Hello,

There is a way you can check your engine oil level and I have included it in the diagrams down below, as well as the capacities for your vehicle's engine. Please go through these guides and get back to us with what you are able to find out. There is a warning message that will appear if you have overfilled the engine with oil, so if you didn't see it displayed, you should be alright.

Thanks,
Alex
