Ever since I’ve had the new battery I’ve noticed my car is starting up more crisply and wouldn’t you know the error message hasn’t popped up since then. Hard to say forsure that this was a battery issue the whole time but I guess I’ll be monitoring the oil for some time and see if the issue comes back.
That is definitely an odd one if the battery was causing it.
Maybe in one sense if the car cranked a little slower the pressure didn't build as fast, causing the error message to occur...but that's really stretching a guess on that one.
Definitely keep an eye on it.
