One month with this truck and I’m already sick of it. First had airbag lights come on, then the front left amber running lights stopped illuminating, and now this. Anyone deal with this before? Can’t even check without the dipstick either. 🤦‍♂️
This has come up a few times on the forum. Not sure what is triggering the oil level sensor. I haven't experienced it myself. Oil level is probably fine, but for some reason it is reading over filled.
 
Still running on factory oil. The light finally cleared this morning and it was most likely nothing to worry about, but it’s still annoying how they are coming on in the first place
Were you parked on an unleveled place for a while? That's how mine happened, I believe. It was on for a week, dealer did an oil change, I did an oil change and then it reset itself after a few days.
 
I wanted to pick your guys brains on oil change intervals. I'm at 5,000 miles which in the past was always when I get oil changed, but my indicator is showing I'm still at 50% oil life. 90-95% of my driving is highway so that makes sense. Would you guys wait until maybe 7,500 miles for an oil change, since the oil life indicator still says 50%?
I did first one 1800. Just did one at 8000 i usually do 3000 every time but its been cold and snow. Oil looked great way better than hemi at 3500 oci . I use mobil 1 filter 212a 20000 mile oil filter and penzoil srt 0 40. Listen cheap oil 3000 good oil 6000 i would not go past there. I noticed this engine takes a long time to drain so i think techs will be leaving a lot of old oil in peoples trucks.

Flat surface. The oil level is showing borderline max level, I will see if an oil change fixes it.
 
I keep getting intermittent vehicle health reports saying ETC is faulty and then it clears. I don’t remember any dash icon or noise. Has anyone else gotten this for electronic throttle control? Is it a hiccup or is it something I should get looked at? What do you think?
