I think it either says 'OK' or 'Check Oil'.

Yep this is what mine does.

FWIW it will display "check oil" in both over pressure (as in overfilled) and under pressure situations.

Evidently there are always some problems with a newly designed mechanical device such as the M8 engine/transmission. Will HD monitor these problems and make any changes to the M8 engine/transmission on later production models in 2018 ? Or just fix the units now that have a problem under warranty ?

I have 9800 miles and have no issues till now 2017 Road Glide Ultra.
Yep...sumping! I bet the find the crankcase full of oil instead of the pan. Sad.

Maybe stupid question, but I noticed in the images above that the EITMS is enabled.

I'm almost positive someone here has discussed this before, but is there any definable correlation between bikes that have the sumping or oil psi issues in general, and those same bikes running the EITMS?

Just curious...personally I hate using it. Hate the way it sounds sitting at stoplights in town. lol

I can't imagine how there could be.

Dealer found the air cleaner drenched in oil. They die test and nothing leaking or anywhere it didn't belong. Oil was below fill mark. They found no issues with oil pressure. At this point I have it back and see what happens I guess.

Hang on a minute,
Isnt research and development what the moco does when they design and build and test before they put the engines in new bikes on the market. Or is R&D what you guys are doing with ya failing engines?
