Thunder,lightening, and an oil warning screen
 
While driving on the Pa. Turnpike last night during a downpour and violent thunderstorm, something strange happened. Normally I have my info screen on "miles remaining". Suddenly on its own the screen changed to "Check oil Warning" I got off the next exit and the oil checked fine. Could the electrical storm or heavy rain have caused a malfunction?

the warning is a setting in the maintenance menu, you passed the mileage it was set to, nothing to worry about

I agree, it was just a coincidence of the timing.

I think most of us are in the same boat. :(

You can set custom intervals for certain alerts to go off. It's buried in the menu there on that little screen.
