Best way is to open up the panel underneath the seat and look at the oil tank. The oil is dark in color so you can see when it is at the top of the oil tank :) Some people just add a little each time they stop for gas. As long as that oil light is off, you are in good shape! :)
How often do the sending units go bad the reason for asking is I've got a rough house thousand Miles oil tanks filled synthetic and oil light goes on when you start it when you grab the brake ironically when the engine is running at idle you grab the brake either one front rear light goes out maybe you release the brake oil light goes on and stays on the entire time I mean I just went 15 miles and I know damn well that if it was not injecting up so it has a full tank of oil and I'm just curious about the sending unit how often do they go bad
The oil light should always come on for a second when you first start it, just to show you that it is working, but then shut off. It can go bad, but to answer your question, it's pretty rare.
So what it was is the float was stuck. On the sending unit to sensor there's a float that slides up and down it was stuck in the down position. Cleaned it and it now works correctly
Very useful but how do you know when it's full?
