OIL! Warning message

[JTII]

Hello,

Anyone else had experience of this?

Elddis Autoquest 2011 on a 2.2 Peugeot Boxer, 12,000 miles, serviced in January by the supplying dealer.
When the ignition is turned on, the message OIL shows on the mileometer, no flashing symbols just the word OIL. It disappears after a few seconds.
Have checked the oil level, it's fine at the top of the dip stick so rang a few of Peugeot dealers. Couple said they'd need to hook it up to their diagnostics whilst one hazarded a guess it was because fuel had mixed with the lubricating oil.
A google trawl talks about oil degradation but surely this shouldn't be happening less than 1,000 miles after an oil change?
Any suggestions as to the cause and a fix?
Is it possible to add a photo?
Many thanks,
Jeremy

Hi Jeremy. Yes, you can add photos.

You'll need an account with Photobucket or another image-hosting company. Upload your photo to, for example, Photobucket, select it from your library then copy the direct link (URL).

Then when you're back on this forum and posting your reply, click on the 'Image link' icon (sixth from the right – hover over it and it will say 'Image link' to confirm it's the right one). Paste the URL into the 'URL' box and the size ('400' should work) in the 'size' box. That should be it!

Thanks Lizzie,

think I've found the answer; it appears to be an oil level indicator, the level of oil indicated by the number of circles, however other owners have advised the dipstick is a more reliable measure :cheer:
