Oil Quantity Indicator

[Kim]

OK .... Yes, I did a search first.

Changed my oil last week, and all was normal immediately following: dipstick showed just below max, and dash indicator showed one tick down from top.

2 days later, dash indicator shows absolutely empty, and flashes on and off for a while after starting the car. Dipstick still shows between the marks, and pressure / temps are normal.

Any suggestions on where to go from here?

Check the oil level sender electrical connection on the engine.

If it is okay then you likely need a new oil level sender.

Thanks, Loren. Can you direct me to the sensor?

It is kind of back and under the right hand intake distributor.

If you need to replace it then the right intake distributor will likely need to come off - still the labor book says it is a 30 minute job.
