[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m trying to figure out how you didn’t notice right away. Didn’t your car’s idiot lights come on?  Didn’t it handle badly?[/quote]

The oil light you see on your dash is oil pressure, not oil level.  And the oil pressure sensor won't activate/work until the car has run for a bit since the pressure builds over time.

And handling?  Please, engine oil has nothing to do with the suspension.

Umm...

There is absolutely an oil level sensor in the oil pan. Sure it might have been tampered with or whatever.

As to what warning it triggers, I guess it depends on the vehicle, but having worked in powertrain a few decades back, we absolutely made use of that data and if it was out of range, would have triggered a check engine light. Are you talking me thst the even more computerized cars nowadays don't have a warning associated with this sensor. I find that hard to believe.

Now I feel like some cookies.
