No warning light, just a gauge.
Test run followed by rebuild.

Difference being, my cousin worked at a holden dealership. The car, it was the complimentary 1st service. The dealer put their hind legs up and said to the customer they didnt run it in properly. The car was a v8 statesman. So my cousin never got questioned, but he knew he ****ed up. My ex wifes sisters boyfriend was (untill this) a diesel mechanic. Hand tightened a sump plug on a truck, but forgot to put a socket on it. Said truck lost the oil plug on the freeway and the motor seized. That made for a very convenient time to resign.
