Failure indication?

What the hell does this mean? It says failure indication with the oil symbol next to it in my car.

I had the same thing. The dealer told me it was a oil heat sensor that had failed. They replaces it, and it started again. Car is back in the shop.

I had the same failure message happen to me yesterday. I ignored it and it came up again later in the day when I next used the car. I've driven the car 3-4x since and no failure message. Might just be coincidence but I added a quart of oil 3 days prior to fill me back up. Hmmmm......

let me know if your car suddenly "blows up" or something
