Thanks for reply, i actually just checked it on a level surface and it is showing almost 1/4" below center line. I wasnt thinking and was checking the level on an uphill driveway. No warning light. Will a warning light come on?? i think it says in the manual that it doesnt have an low oil level warning, from what i understand there is just is a warning if there is low oil pressure. Do you have any info on this? thanks again...
