Problems keep on acoming, Oil Light


Recommended Posts

Posted

The oil light comes on when ever i slow down to under 15 mph or im at a complete stop. The light flickers really fast or some times just stays on untill i give it throttle. the oil is up to the line or maybe even over a bit and i have just changed the oil and filter. Anyone know?

I would go to where the oil pressure switch is, usually by the filter, and unscrew the switch and attach a guage to verify the oil pressure. If your oil pump is on its way out, you'll know this way.

 

Good luck, Merry Christmas.

It could be the sending unit, but I would guess that the light is acting correctly based on what you've said. And in that case you're engine is worn out to the point of needing a rebuild or your oil pump is going. Either way its not going to be cheap or fun.

I would bet money it is a faulty sending unit, they are cheap and easy to replace. try that, it will most likely fix it
