For some reason it has corrected itself, same reading both ways but "check oil level" still comes up on the computer plus a several more readings so i'd imagine it will need to be checked out with the tech2.

I think dave you could be right, sensor has had it. Cause oil is perfect but sensor still reads check oil level, not all of the time but a good bit.

If sensor is faulty or damaged is it much of a job to replace?
