Guys, did some major work on the R500. Replaced the left front axle, spark plugs, power steering pump, ac pulley/clutch, radiator, radiator fluid and oil/filter.
I put in 7 quarts and was hoping to be able to check the oil level via the instrument panel but can't seem to find out how. I hate how these models don't come with a dipstick.
Ok, figured it out. Key in position 1, hit R "reset" button 3 times, use up arrow key on steering wheel once, turn key to position 2, up arrow once. Oil level will then show.
8.5 capacity on my model year. Added 1 more quart, kept the indicator showing so I could see it rise to the proper level.
Probably your owners manual describes the “civilian” path where the dash screen response is simply “ok” or “add 1 quart” or similar. Surely not as many steps required.
I used to get the msg Add X oil at next fill up, but suddenly, I am not getting them anymore, and it isnt because I don't need oil. Any suggestions on how to turn this back on?
