396 miles on our new Burstner 726 and the oil warning lights have come on in the multi-function display. First an orange light (not flashing and with an oil can over a wavy line) and then whilst stopped the red check the oil light. Oil pressure light OK. I'm glad it wasn't just me as the RAC technician couldn't check how much oil was in the sump from the dipstick either. The oil was too thin and too new (and too full of diesel?) to cling to it as it was pulled out. He added a little oil but the lights did not go out so he drained three quarters of a litre by undoing the filter and the red light has gone out. He then suggested going to the nearest dealer for an oil change. No one saying yet exactly what the problem might be but some suggesting that DPF regeneration might have been stopped mid-cycle. Idling on quayside during delivery has been suggested by one as the most likely cause as most of our 396 miles were done on the motorway. RAC technician says that the oil level is too high having had a good dose of diesel added during the failed regeneration and this is a problem he comes across all the time with Mazda diesel engines.
Fiat Professional have been very supportive as has the dealer I have taken it to.The supplying dealer suggested the DPF/idling on quayside problem so has probably seen it before. Anyone else had this problem?
Ferry booked this week so I hope they can get it sorted quickly. I won't be idling the engine on the quayside!
