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. |
