low oil light comes on in dash periodically, sometimes a day or so after oil change and refill new filter plus 5 quarts oil. Checking oil level when parked after light came on says oil is full. Subaru dealer wants to diagnose while light on but whenever I’m in their area, light goes off. We think the sensor is bad. Not sure at this point since havent diagnosed it.
Welcome to Car Talk, you were redirected here…
Is this a low oil pressure light or a low oil level light??
If the oil level is good when the light comes on and no ticking or knocking noises heard then either leave it at the dealer/repair shop in hopes it will come on, or just replace the sensor and cross your fingers in hopes that is the issue…
I would check for any history or pending codes that might be related 1st…
