Oil Warning Light

[highflya]

On 2 occasions now the oil warning light and chimes have come on whilst driving. This has occured bout 1 1/2 appart and the oil level is fine. Any ideas?

Cheers

Maybe a problem with the oil pressure switch. It is in front of the oil filter.

When I hammer mine out of a corner sometimes the chime comes on for a sec. I think it is because the oil has sloshed away from the sensor in the sump.

Also when the oil level gets just a bit low and I have to brake suddenly mine will come on.

Yeah that will happen. The oil gets thrown around a bit and it may register as being low for a split second.

Same thing happens with fuel going around corners hard, the fuel light may come on and then turn off once it stabilises. Nothing to really worry about.

The oil light may also be because the oil is the wrong weight. Maybe go one grade thicker if that's what you think it is. It all depends on what you use though. If you're using a 0w-30, than it's probably a good idea.

If you want Mobil 1, use the 10-30.
