2011 R1200RT oil <!> indicator

[Atomicman52]

The oil level light is called up with the on-board computer

The oil pressure warning comes up automatically when there's a problem



'08 RT owners manual below

The readings mean:
(check mark) Oil level is correct

<!> Check the oil level with the
dipstick (dipstick is an obvious misprint)the next time you
stop for fuel. If you call up another
reading on the on-board computer,
this symbol remains visible
until the sensor again registers a
correct oil level.

--- Oil level cannot be measured
(conditions as stated
above not satisfied).
The most recently measured
level is displayed for 5 seconds
when you next switch on the ignition.
The oil-level sensor might
be defective if the "Check
oil level" message appears even
though the oil level in the oil
sight glass is correct. In this
case, consult your authorised
BMW Motorrad dealer.

This is incorrect on my '09 anyway.

The OIL LEVEL OK CHECKMARK is called up with the BC. The oil level warning light comes on automatically if the sensor senses low OIL LEVEL!. aGAIN! I HAVE NEVER SEEN TO LOW OIL LEVEL WARNING LIGHT!

I've never seen a check mark, ever. Mine's a 2011 with the computer FWIW...[/QUOTE

You only see the check mark, once engine is up to operating temperature and you scroll through BC to OIL while stopped.

And on my 2011, after seeing the check and starting to move, I now see the tire pressures. This is where I generally leave it, unless I am curious about something else.

There is no oil level warning light.

There is an oil pressure warning light. That you will only see if the oil pressure is incorrect.

When reading the BC oil level you have three different symbols. Check mark level is OK,
<!> inspect the sight glass to check oil level

---- conditions aren't met for a reading

I quote from the '09 Owner's Manual Page 32 Section 3,

ENGINE OIL LEVEL TOO LOW <!>

OIL appears on the display <!> OIL LEVEL SYMBOL APPEARS ON THE DISPLAY

Possible cause: The electronic OIL LEVEL sensor has detected a LOW OIL LEVEL. cHECK THE ENGINE OIL LEVEL ON THE OIL LEVEL INDICATOR THE NEXT TIME YOU STOP FOR REFULEING.

Are WE arguing OVER WHAT the definintion of a LIGHT/SYMBOL IS, IS?
