Engine oil level. Reduce oil level.....what does it mean?

It means someone has filled too much oil in the engine. Too much oil is bad for the CATs.

It could of course be a sensor fault. Best get the engine oil level checked using a dip stick..

I used to get this message frequently in my W208 CLK. Apparently there to warn of 'over-filling' oil levels, the sensor is notoriously inaccurate (according to my trusted local indy specialist and 'goes off' for little or no reason. I accused him [jokingly] of using cheap rubbish oil after a service and was told it was a 'known fault' on several MB models.

Check oil using the old-fashioned dipstick to make sure you're OK.....!

What do you think it means?

The other possibility on an older diesel car is that that the oil is being diluted by excess fuel finding its way into the sump. This not a good thing for the engine. I would buy your own dipstick tool on Ebay so you can keep a permanent watch on the oil level

It's really obvious why some posters don't come back to this forum.

Just open the sump plug and drain some off

It's really obvious why some posters don't come back to this forum.

With a question like their one probably from embarrassment.
