<![CDATA[E28 535I - Engine Oil Check Control Light Keeps Coming On - even with a full belly of oil]]>Hey there dudes -

So just did my first oil change on my E28 535I. 

All went smoothly and I filled 'er up with 6 quarts.  The dipstick is right at the top notch.  But the "engine oil" check control light (above the windshield) keeps coming on after driving for about a minute.  It's not leaking oil...

Any advice?

Thanks - jake

Oil capacity is approximately 5.3 US quarts. Your oil level sensor may be telling you that you overfilled it. Did you check the dipstick?

Is this a gold colored car with -8 degrees of rear camber?
