I believe that the light can be illuminated by either the oil level sensor or the oil pressure sensor.

For me, a level less than half an inch above the low mark would trigger the light only when going round a corner, or alternatively, would turn off when going round a corner the other way. I forget which way was which... ;)

I think I read somewhere that a level half down the dipstick would trigger. Your mileage may vary...?

It would possibly cause a flicker of the light on a steep incline facing up too..?!! :D

Hi
Thanks for that...The107301 is the baby...The pressure switch I'm not concerned with, as I'm "remote-ing" that , and I couldn't see the oil level switch....(can't get under the Bongo)
That little bit of info gives me some good scope for yet another gismo :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Cheers
