On the way back to the house my luck ran out and the "low level oil light" came back on and stayed on. So it's off to the dealership we must go!
For what it's worth, the "low level oil light" on my car is blue when illuminated. The "low pressure oil light" is bright red. A distinction that's rather hard to mix up.
Thanks everyone. I just wanted to confirm that the change in filters was not, somehow, related to my problem issue.
Stupid sensor... if your dipstick shows oil... you've got oil... no worries. The sensor probably stuck "low..." when you changed the oil out...and is still sticking .
Or, did you forget the drain plug... !
Anyhow, it won't have anything to do with the filter...
And for all you "Use a Subaru Filter ..." Subaru has had two batches of recalled oem oil filters, that leaked severely. And, having disected a couple blue oem filters... I wouldn't call them " the best..." by any stretch... just another basic FRAM oem filter, identical to the HONDA blue oem filters, just smaller.
