Understanding the Oil Service Light
The oil service light in your Nissan Murano is a helpful tool that alerts you when it’s time to change the oil. The vehicle’s computer system tracks the miles driven and the time since your last oil change. Once it determines that it’s time for fresh oil, the light comes on.
Common Reasons for the Oil Service Light
Several factors can cause the oil service light to illuminate. These include:
- Low oil levels: If your oil is running low, the sensor will detect it and turn on the light.
- Oil change intervals: The light may simply be indicating that it’s time for a scheduled oil change based on mileage or time.
- Sensor issues: In some cases, a faulty sensor might cause the light to stay on even after an oil change.
