Just yesterday, my engine oil light has been flickering on and off. I've checked my oil level because i just had that changed a few weeks ago and it's still full. A couple of days ago, I had my water pump changed because i was leaking anti-freeze and ever since then the light has been flickering. Any clue what it might be? Maybe the sensor. Has this happened to anyone and if anyone knows what I can do, that would be great help. Thanks.

 

They all flicker on startup...

Oil light means Oil Pressure, not that your low on oil

 

you should take some time and read the faq's entirely. the question you just asked is answered in the faq's, and you could have educated yourself without wasting a post. thank you

 

U sure bout that?... I think it means both

 

I'm pretty sure. Low oil will usually mean low oil pressure, but so can a shotty oil pump. I think the sensor that reads oil pressure, is called the "oil pressure switch" as per the FSM.

 

It happens while i'm driving, not on startup.

 

Your oil pressure switch could be fubared, replace it.. there like $7.

 

Ya, i got it changed this morning. It cost me $14 CDN.
