The oil was low barely hitting the bottom of the dipstick. There is a little white in my oil, like..VERY little. I saw it initially when i pulled the dipstick out..what is that?
Topped the oil off and it doesn't show the light anymore
That was the answer, then.
The oil level was too low for spirited driving...
The oil should be changed every 3 to 4 months or so, every 5K is risky..
When I changed the oil in the 900S, about 2.5 liter was drained - easy to measure, this was after 4K miles.
But the oil light never glowed, but , I never "slam on" the brakes either..
I would worry about a partially clogged oil screen however..During this rather long oil drain interval, are there any short runs where the oil never reaches operating temperature... ?? This is, IMO, the primary reason for sludging - that and too long (6 month -7,500 mile intervals)..
