2017 subi Impreza sedan, manual transmission.
After last oil change (0w-20 synth), the amber/orange low oil level light (genie bottle with wavy lines underneath) has come off and on... Mostly on.
Oil level is at full mark cold. Vehicle is well maintained and usually goes thru about one quart between oil changes (6000-7000 miles)
Is there anything we should check? We've tried the fuse reset trick and that doesn't make the light turn off. Replacing the oil level sensor would be an expensive job (it's not accessible without dropping the pan since it's located top side and need to remove rods, ends, etc, etc).
I've read other places a faulty oil pressure sensor (which is a 10 minute fix) could remedy the issue... But wouldn't the red oil pressure light illuminate if that sensor was bad?
Car is at 72k miles and having a bad sensor this soon is possible but these things rarely fail. And the "coincidence" is this started after last oil change. So can't say definitively it's related or the cause.
