My trip comp says "OIL HI" What is this mean?
It happens only when I drive little agressively..

Thankx!

That's what it means. But I wonder why it'd even come up just because of agressive driving. Have you checked the oil level on a flat surface - somehow I think you have and it's OK. If that's the case, I'll have it checked. By aggressive driving do you mean hard acceleration? Even that shouldn't trigger the oil level sensor. if level is OK at flat, I'll have the sensor checked.

...heating up the oil causes it to "thin" and lowers the pressure so it probably is not that. I had same problem when the dealer overfilled the oil in mine. they claimed it was a defective sensor but they actually just sucked out a bit from the filler hole and i have been ok for several thousand miles. (my mole at the dealer told me this is what happened).
