Hi, I bought an old 190E last week and today it went on its first long run.
Everything went fine and the car is smooth as silk even with 128600 on the clock. The oil pressure guage needle is at the top of the scale when driving with anything above tickover applied to the "Go" pedal and drops very slightly at idle.
I noticed as we got near home that the orange light with an oil can logo flashed on for about 2 seconds then stayed off for a minute then flashed on again for a further 2 seconds then stayed off until we got home. I parked on the flat and checked the oil after 5 minutes and it was fine.
The car was serviced at 126,000 miles by a Main Dealer.
Should I be worried?
ps, I don't panic easily but car engines give me the heebie-Jeebies, lol
