My 93 850 gave me a check oil level light today! I was shocked as I am fanatical about oil. I checked and it was maybe down a half quart on the dip stick. I bought a quart at a local stop and go and put in half! Light went out! I am curious how sensitive that check oil light is?? It did freak me out as I thought I might be leaking some, then realized it was not the oil pressure idiot light (been there and done that on 240s that had a rod knock - and on a 740 that I replaced an oil pump!)

I assume this was no cause for alarm - car has gone about 1800 miles before I needed to add this half quart! Just gave me a bad feeling while driving- LOL
