Ya'll keep your kids out of the museums - keep 'em outta France, for that matter.
keep 'em away from Dave Letterman!

I am in love with your avatar. And you speak words of wisdom, my friend.

It sounds like you have one of the engines that uses oil.
After the warning and I put in half a quart, I checked my oil level again after the engine is warmed up, and it still read the minimum. What is going on...I put in 1 1/2 quarts of 0W-40 in the last week alone. I'd better check for oil spot on the garage floor.

Well, I for one find the electronic oil level monitoring works quite well. I follow the instructions in the operator's manual and haven't had any problems. I always check my oil after a drive, usually 50 miles or more, and check it in my garage. I haven't had any problems checking the oil at all, in fact, I have a rather long driveway (garage at the rear of the house) and by the time I park in the garage and initiate the oil level check the wait is usually less than 30 seconds.
