Dear users
in recent months it has happened to me that after driving at high rpm, leaving the engine idling or even driving relaxed, the oil lamp comes on.
I checked with my ThinkOBD 500 but no DTCs are active.
Can anyone help me?
My 8 is a early first series with around 90000 km, 231 HP. I use reccomended Mazda oil. Oil level is halfway between minimum and maximum.

Thanks in advance
Maurizio

 

Known issue with the oil level sensor in 2004-2006 (maybe later too) cars. I think there's an updated oil pan and sensor that you could install to solve it if it bothers you. Mine does this after track days, but only after track days.
