Coolent light?
 

Second Oil change at the dealer at 5600 miles, the next day coolent level turned on for 30sec then turned off, later same day it turned on again. Checked the level and it was below the low meter anybody have any experience, can anyone help. I am calling the dealer tomorrow and b***ing them out.

You could try adding some coolant?

Are we talking oil here

Or coolant?

its normal for the oil light to cycle when it's right at the threshold

Yeah, if it is oil light you're talking about, and it is on the low side you may see it illuminate while cruising at 75-80 mph, or while going around some corners. In that case, you top it off.

no its the coolent but why would it go on after the oil change? Shouldn't it be changed or
refilled after like 2 years ?

The juice we get from the factory must be the long-life stuff.

From the owner's manual "Engine coolant: Replace at first 96,000km (60,000miles) or 48 months; after that, every 24 months".

But I imagine we'll have to top it up several times before reaching 48 months / 60k miles.

Maybe it's just coincidence...I don't know, man, but I don't see how the dealership could have caused it by changing the oil.

I was thinking it's coincidence too.

I am going to the dealer either tomorrow or friday and complain, when I called today the manager said to bring it in. I had to buy new coolent and fill it up, he said it's personal maintance so the irritated me, becasue I told him that I had to refill it the next day when the coolent light went on after the oil change. So I am going to ask for coolent refund and a free oil change for the next time.

WTF :confused: Why do they owe you a refund on antifreeze? Are you expecting them to buy you new brake fluild, clutch fluid, and windshield washer fluid when they run low? We're responsible for our own fluids ........ spare them the headache.

at5k miles i dont think so btw, I check my fluids everyday and they never are low, right after the oil change it showed low that doesnt seem right.
