    oil level message

    Heya - I'm getting a "check engine oil level" message when I shut off the car after driving it a while. Oil level on the dipstick reads just below the top line though. I'm guessing sticky sensor? It has a mechanical floaty-thing to measure the level right?

    Ah that sounds like exactly the issue..need to change the oil soon, probably will clean the sensor while I'm at it for starters. Thanks!
