R57 Oil light comes on under hard acceleration
Oil light comes on under hard acceleration
2014 r57 with about 115,000 on the clock. Wife’s car, so I don’t drive it too much.
Oil light flicked on about two months ago when passing at WOT. Got out. Check the oil. Was on low end of high. Was about due for an oil change. So brought in and mentioned it. Tech mention front crank seal was leaking - cool, again. Had been fixed by them less than a year ago. Need their warranty. So the fixed it again. Hadn’t did it since according to my wife.
This weekend, I took it on a 600 mile trip (had less than 300 miles on it since service). On the way back, it happened again. Check the oil level and in the middle of spec. I went ahead and added 8 oz of oil to put it on high end of spec. It will do so still on WOT.
What might be wrong at and how concerning is this to get checked out?
TIA
