Hi!

I've experienced a strange message on MID.
I drove on the highway with 80mph speed when a message appeared on the MID screen:Olstand prufung - as i know it means in English Check Oil (level). I stopped on the next fuel station and waited some minutes and checked the oil level which was OK (it was on the max).
i comtinued my journey and everything was OK all day, but later - certainly on the highway- the message has appeared again
Does anybody know what can cause an error message like this?Too much oli, oil level sensor, contact problems??
Any idea or experience for somebody about this?
Thanks:

That message can appear when oil gets to around 1/2 way between min and max.

Failing that, it might be the level sensor, or the wiring in between.

I often get this message when I am due an oil change, it must backup behind the filter thus causing the sump level to drop.

With fresh oil it doesnt happen
