Canada - Instruments - Low Engine Oil Level Warning Message

Bulletin
2440

Issue Date
June 8, 2007

Title
LOW ENGINE OIL LEVEL WARNING MESSAGE

Component
ENGINE MECHANICAL

Models
'07 LS 460/460L

INTRODUCTION:






On new LS 460/460L vehicles that have not had their first oil change service, customers may experience a condition where the low engine oil level warning message is illuminated even though the oil is at the correct level. Chemical residue from the assembly process may have entered the oil causing the level sensor to read inaccurately. Changing the oil and filter will correct this condition.

NOTE:
This phenomenon will more likely occur when the gear selector is in the Sport 4 (S4) mode.


APPLICABLE VEHICLES:
- 2007 model year LS 460/460L vehicles produced BEFORE the Production Change Effective VINs shown below.
