I just bought a 2005 this Monday and after going over the car i realized that the oil level was high, then today after turning on the car the light came on almost instantly after not driving it for about 2hrs.

The light came on right after autozone closed, so that will have to wait till the morning... I started looking deeper and noticed that there is what seems to be oil/gas mixture in my air filter...

I took out the MAF sensor to take a look... Dont know really what to look for in this but it was dry and seemed to be clean free from containment's...

Do you think that the oil level is somehow causing it to exhaust oil out through the intake, possibly causing a bad MAF sensor???

Im going to take it to autozone in the morning but i'm hoping its a simple problem like this.... seems to be running just fine though

Extremely fun to drive but kinda a bummer that i get a problem so soon in ownership

 

Yes .....look at the bottom of the page and read up on it. Many others have seen this. How long ago was oil added?

 

Dunno... I havent added any at all because i havent even had it a week and its still over F line on dipstick... Looks to be under 1000 miles on the oil not new but not old... Do you have a thread on the MAF and gas in air filter... btw everything on it is stock as of right now

 

Any way to tell if the sensor is bad just by looking at it?

 

Install an oil catch can and search please
