Man, you really missed a golden opportunity! You should have insisted on paying $400 for it so your handle could be SC$400 or even $C400.

I had the exact same issue. I added about a half quart of oil and it fixed the issue. I always put a full 6 quarts in my 400 now and the issue has never happeded again.

Oil level is good and only on hard left turns...any ideas?

This is first time this has happened and the oil level is at the top of the full mark. I am guessing there is an issue with the oil level sensor itself. Does anyone know exactly where it is located on the 400?

I got the same issue...the oil level sensor is beside the oil filter, near the base of the filter. They usually don't go bad but maybe in your case it has. Make sure the connections are clean before replacing.

Man...$300

My dipstick also showed full. I added the half quart of oil (assuming you started with 5.5 quarts) and there was no change in dipstick reading but it fixed my issue. As Slide said I doubt it is your oil level sensor. That was about 20k miles ago and 4 oil changes

Default slow battery drain

Got a slow parasitic battery drain. What are the usual items that cause a drain?
