3. "Engine oil level"
Possible messages

Duration with the engine running: approx. 3 minutes.
Duration while driving: approx. 5 minutes.
- "Engine oil level below minimum. Add 1
quart!"
Add oil within the next 125 miles/200 km. - "Engine oil level too high! Have this checked."
Have the vehicle checked immediately.
