    2017~2025 Strange Oil Change problem - can't read the dipstick properly, low oil level warning

    See my post at 12:30 pm - it has an attached screenshot of the 2018 CX-5 Owners manual. It was not the low oil pressure warning light.

    2017~2025 Strange Oil Change problem - can't read the dipstick properly, low oil level warning

    Here's the light that I saw - I was confused since it was not the low oil pressure light which is RED. The Low Oil Level warning light came on only briefly. Now that I added the remaining oil in the 5 Qt jug, the oil reading is fine - a uniform, thick film right between the Full and Add marks.

    Thanks, cz5gt & Christopher! I'll just dump the rest of the jug in. After doing my own servicing of my wife's 2010 3S and my former 2011 3i Touring, this new car is very complicated - 600+ page owners manual? I had to find a web-based one that was searchable.

    2017~2025 Strange Oil Change problem - can't read the dipstick properly, low oil level warning

    I posted this in another thread, but will create a new one since I need to decide what to do. Background - 9/28/2018 - 1st oil change at around 3k miles.

    Rip 2019 CX-5 GTR

    An insurance claims rep once told me that I should be able to see the car's rear tires when I stop behind a car. This is to prevent being shoved into the car in front of you if rear-ended. My sister was given a ticket for hitting the car in front of her even though the ultimate fault was the...
