Some Cadillac Seville owners report experiencing low oil readings after a recent oil change, which can be attributed to several factors. These owners note that the oil level monitor may trigger a warning message even when the oil has just been changed. Additionally, a faulty sensor could provide inaccurate readings, leading to a low oil warning despite adequate oil levels. It is crucial for owners to manually check the oil level with a dipstick, as simply bringing the oil to the full mark may not deactivate the warning message. Some report that parking on an incline can cause false low oil level readings due to oil pooling away from the sensor. Other issues contributing to low oil pressure after an oil change include worn engine bearings, incorrect oil viscosity, dirt in the oil pick-up tube, worn oil pumps, oil leaks, and dirty oil filters. If the low oil reading persists despite checking the oil level and addressing sensor concerns, consulting a professional mechanic is recommended for further diagnosis and resolution.
