Oil level sensor malfunction
I got the message a few days ago and comes back day after day. I saw that it's a $120+ sensor which is pretty expensive for something I NEVER use, that's what the dipstick is for.

I have a question though, does this sensor ONLY measure oil level? Or does it do more?

Its very easy to replace. It just measures oil level. The car doesn't come with a dipstick

I already have the dipstick. If it only serves to measure oil and that's it then it can wait...lol

Easy to replace. But if you check it with a dipstick, and don't wanna spend the money and time for a new sensor, then just leave it, no?

Yeah, if I can figure out how to get rid of the message I'd prefer to save myself $120.
