On way to a friends house to help him strip a car. The stop light briefly lit up and the few seconds it was on I briefly caught the word oil on the centre display. It has popped up before saying low oil because the sensor wiring is a bit wonky soni ignored it. A minute or two later it said stop again and stayed on so I could see what the centre display read. Insufficient oil pressure. Bollocks. Pulled in to side of road and killed the engine as fast as I could. All underneath caked in oil and sump plug nowhere to be seen.

Oh no Bub. That’s bad news.

It's going to have done damage but you might just get away with a new plug and it refilled. Hopefully will give a good while longer out of it.

[bub2006]

I'd have took more heed if I noticed oil come onto centre display if it was for more than a couple of seconds and if it didnt occasionally like to flash up low oil level too. Plan is like sic said and that's to fill oil and new sump plug. I hate to think of the damage done to be fair. I guess I'll find out tomorrow when I fill it again.

Shit, at least you didn't run it until it got noisy or stopped on its own. Fill it up again and see what happens in the next 10k.
Is it worth drilling and lock wiring the sump plug just in case?

[bub2006]

I havent a clue. I dont even understand how its come out now. The thing is it's been 6000 mile since that sump plug was last touched.

[DodgeRover]

Have you upset anybody handy with spanners lately?

[bub2006]

To be honest I keep myself to myself and have a very small social circle and even fewer friends.

New sump plug and fresh oil and it seems to be ok. I dont get this car. It just keeps going
