<6k miles with oil light on

<6k miles with oil light on.

Has this happened to anyone?

I have only 5,760 miles at 9.5 months.

Maybe they just forgot to reset your next oil change appointment in your car. Just give your Service Advisor a call/visit.

+1 Two very different things. I have 4k miles on mine and had to add one quart of oil.

Called SA, just have to stop by to top off fluids... odd. Considering I don't drive hard or far.

It is the low oil light.

Unfortunately it's not that odd. These cars tend to consume oil.

And enjoy the driving.
