Hello guys/girls, i'm new here and guess what I have a problem with my Brava JTD 105 from 2001. when starting engine it displays " High Oil" on the lcd screen and after few sec it dissapears. Can anyone enlight me to what that means? I'm not good at mechanics so please don't make fun

I would'nt drive it! Drain the oil and refil to the correct level.
The crankshaft will be churning up the extra oil in the crankcase will cause the oil to get foamy and full of air bubbles, air bubbles do not pass through bearings well, and would cause less oil to reach the top of the engine, thus resulting in lower oil pressure, and worn upper engine components and failed bearings. Also the resistance of the oil on the crankshaft is going to lower engine output. Not a lot of the extra oil is going to blow back past the rings either. Most of the oil is going to take the easiest way out which is out of the crankcase through the PCV system and end up going back to the air filter housing or intake manifold, that is where you get your smoke, from the PCV system recycling the crankcase gases, and all of the extra oil.

Do you think its that worse because the error goes few sec after the engine started

I'm really not too clued up on bravo's im afraid my friend - all I can suggest is that you fill the oil to the correct level.

If the problem persists ring a fiat dealer or visit a local garage.

Check your oil levels by checking the dip stick. If its too high drain some oil off by undoing the sump plug.

Never over fill the oil, reason as mentioned above.

am i the only one who has never heard of this feature on a Bravo/a/Marea?

i'm starting to wonder what interesting features i can get out of the 3.1 ecu :chin:

There must be a sensor to detect it though

So after checking the oil lvl with that deep stick I noticed everything is ok..I mean the oil lvl. So i started the engine again..guess what no more High Oil message on display...and that untill this morning when it appeared again.Could that be some sort of false alarm...or the low/high temperature difference between night and day influence that in anyway(sounds stupid I know..just asking) , my guess its just a false alarm because i see no black smoke orsome strange behaviour from the car

Is your car parked on a slope or has someone already said that

nope nobody said it ..no the car is on horizontal surface ...i'm thinking that it is a false alarm....i understood that old fiat have this issue..anyway i'm going to take it tomorrow to a garage to be checked by a mechanic
with a computer

If the oil level is correct on the dipstick its most likely a faulty sensor.. they give lots of trouble.
