I hope you're not talking about the oil life being 50% . . .

If not, then are you parked on an incline?
Could be time to replace the oil level sensor too.

There is no oil level indicator on the instruments, so what you're seeing as "in the middle" is telling you something else.

If you are seeing the oil can symbol in the HUD, it means the right bargraph is displaying oil pressure. That right bargraph can be set to display different things by pressing the page button on the left side of the instrument cluster, either fuel level, coolant temp, oil pressure.

so is that good? i am babying the car maybe that is why, that is what the echanic said dont know if its true he said since i have not been using the AC , the caskets dried up and that is why my compressor started leaking

[Y2Kvert4me]

so is that good? Midway is about 40 psi if I recall, which is perfectly normal. :yesnod:

Yes, a/c compressor will fail sooner if it's rarely used.

:cert:
