Pam, The explanation they gave you doesn't make any sense. More likely that there was oil lost in a leak caused by the old sending unit and they never filled it when they repaired it.
You noticed it was empty and refilled it, took it in to them. They realized their mistake and BSed you. As long as there's oil in the crankcase, it will show up on the stick; it can't hide in the bottom. Check the oil at every fill-up. As long as you don't see the light come on while driving and the level is fine when you check it, you're alright. Make sure the light comes on when you first go to start the car, otherwise the bulb is burnt out and it can't warn you. Start saving now for the next car and you should have enough in a few years when this one finally dies. (You should have that long.) Find another dealer; this one is playing on your fears. --Geoff On 3/29/07, Pammie <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > my 02 has a 2.7. > I had the oil light come on a while back....the dealer said it was the oil > sender and I had it replaced... > about 3000 miles later...it is time for my oil change and the light comes > on again!!!!
