Regeneration can cause the oil level to rise. Part of the extra fuel injected for regen can blow by the pistons and end up in the oil pan. The engine was Proberbly attempting to regen many times and that's why the oil level was high. Thanks for the great Video's Sandy!
You are an absolute legend mate. Took our asx to a diesel mechanic who could not clear the message. Showed him your video. Done and done. Good on you for posting.
Brilliant Sandy! Your key word to get rid of this oil level message is 'initialize'. I have a Mitsubishi ASX 1.8 diesel and the Foxwell NT530 scanner so two items different from you, but it still worked. I used the info button and the Mitsubishi software to zero and clear everything I could find in every menu and sub menu but the message was still there. THEN, your tip on 'initialize' in the appropriate menu for oil matters and the 1550cc figure went to zero. And as you say 'voila', message gone. Much appreciated.
@@cdorob Well yes, the oil level was indeed high when this alert first appeared, probably due to DPF regen, so I changed the oil and filter, rather than just drain some off and the alert did not automatically reset after doing this. As said above, no 'in car menus' could clear this message and neither did the scanner, using service reminder etc reset features. The 'initialise' selection routine is what worked.
Fantastic video which helped massively. I used a £99 kingbolan Ediag tool and with the menu guidance in this video I initialised the oil level and hey presto that annoying light is off! (After an oil change of course). Brilliant! Thank you
Sandy still having that EGR code will probably stop the car from regeneration. I have used Forte Egr and Turbo cleaner on these kind of faults and have had a lot of success with that product.
Hi Sandy just watch this video and found it very informative, would it be possible to tell me where the sensor for the oil level is found as I am at my wits end. My car has just had replacement oil and filter and light is still staying on . I believe it maybe the sensor however info on where this is to be found is non exsistant - any tips would be much appreciated - Mike in Dundee
Hi did you ever resolve this problem? My mitsubishi outlander gx4 2012 has just started doing this after being fully serviced.local garage could no get rid of the warning message any help I would appreciate thanks.
@@chrisgibson5438 - never got a reply , went to mitsubishi dealer who stated that they have to reset the light afrer an oil change but at a cost , ended up buying a car computer to do it myself whch worked , plus i now have the ability to look at warnings , service and any other issues that arose along with family memebrs cars - sorry i wasnt able to help
@@chrisgibson5438 ps the level of oil needs tp be reset per vehicle but this can be found on internet should you invest in a car computer (mine was £235) plus it allows regeneration of dpf
Many of the ERG faults can be solved by giving the car a good run on the motorway. Mitsubishi's cars are so overengineered. They are not supposed to be driven economically, shit gets clogged up.
Had an oil level fault on the dash after an oil change. Cant rem what on tho. I think i had to do a reset also. My go to is a maxysispro but im thinkin of getting a launch cos the update is over a grand
@@sandyande aye seen that one. A lot of guys seem to have the diagun 4 fo about the same price. I think theyre a bit wee to see data. I was thinkin of the v+. Its just over a grand.
Hi Sandy, I have ELM327 for WiFI (for BT not work with iOS), what program and platform do you recommend that I could do this procedure at home without an authorized service? At family we have three Mitsu with 4N14 engine. Thank You.
Sorry Bernard I don't know what program would work with ELM, but I do know that u could pick up a cheap autel scanner via eBay that would work very well on Mitsubishi cheers sandy
@@sandyande Thanks for the reply Sandy, would this one work Autel MaxiScan MS309 OBD2 Car Diagnostic Scanner Code Reader Diagnostic Tool? It's cheap but I can't afford the £400 ones & I just need to remove the annoying check oil level. I just done an oil change due to it being over the oil level!!
What I get from this is some dumb Kent, thought shit I need more oil. They added more then the engine was like, check oil level, so the Mong thought shit I must neeeeed more?! So kept making the problem worse l. Then you need to software reset the stupid once you did the oil change properly.
Yeah nah. The oil level growing due to diesel dilution is a common thing. Often caused by the dpf needing to regen too often, that is then usually caused by a faulty component which is over sooting the dpf.

Top man, saved me a headache, tried to sort this by checking forums but found your video and sorted in minutes. 👍🏴
Thank you for saving me a trip to Mitsubishi. Am sharing this far and wide
Cheers sandy
The regen raise the oil level. Mixes diesel with oil. Drop oil to bottom notch on dip stick
some good information there to remember Sandy . Thank you for sharing
Cheers Mark, Sandy
Thanks mate that helped me alot. Great work
Thanks buddy saved my life
No problem Matthew happy it helped cheers sandy
Mathew did you buy a scanner to reset the light? If so what scanner did you buy? Thanks
Your accent is ridiculous to a mere Australian. But your knowledge is sound.
When the video first started, I thought "Damn it, it's in Russian" 😂
Please help, what type of scanner are you using? Bi directional?
Normal scanners will not reset this light i.e obd scanners.
Sandy still having that EGR code will probably stop the car from regeneration.
I have used Forte Egr and Turbo cleaner on these kind of faults and
have had a lot of success with that product.
Cheers Tam never knew about that stuff will tell George to try it cheers sandy
Thanks man
what tester are you using ?
