While driving on the highway, and I slowed down to exit my oil pressure light blinked on for a sec. then went out......this is the second time it did this in 4 months......should I be concerned???? the last time this happened I changed the oil the next day an it didn't come on since......

 

have you take the time to check oil level? any leak ?

 

yea check ur dip stick a few times and get back to us.. k, thanks..

 

OK.........I'll let it sit overnight so I can get a good reading in the morning.....I just ad the oil changed a few months ago.....could I burn that much oil ???...if its an leak where should I look first ???

 

you might be able to burn that much.. if its a leak, look under the car where ever you park that may help.. get back to us with the reading..

 

When I start my car and the oil light flickers, I know I'm 1/2 bottle down. So I top it off the next time.

If I'm ignorant of the light when starting, it'll flicker at me when I'm doing high-G maneuvers... I guess the oil splashes around and doesn't get sensed...

yea but the light is supposed to light when you start the car for a second.. all te lights go on usually on the dash. also the oil pressure is low when you start.. am i wrong?

 

as everyone said, check your oil level, if that's fine and your light still flickers like you're saying, then your oil pressure sending unit is probably going bad

 

yea but would anyone agree with what i said before the last post..

 

man hell no , my light comes one for like a spilt second when i turn the ignition, check you oil like no longer that 15 minutes after u stop the car.

 

like i said the oil light goes on for a second or two then goes out.. that is normal.. how am i wrong

 

Yes it is normal. You have no oil pressure in the car til the engine is running. Ignore the f50 guy.

 

thank you my friend, i knew i was right..

 

Here's what mine does (not supporting, nor refuting you Dannytzo)

When I'm cranking, the oil light will be on. When I let go, oil light goes out

When I'm low on oil, oil will be on when cranking, and when I let go, it'll flicker once or twice more.

Jae

 

yea i understand what you are saying but that could happen because of like we said before the oil pressure when u start...

 

it may flicker once or twice after letting go because of the pressure i was tring to say... not because there is oil needed..

 

could be ur right but i dont think it might be that serious if it does not flash more often then when it starts and the oil pressure is low..

 

hey check and see if you have any oil leaks first....my car did dis to me like 2 or 3 days ago and come to find out my Oil Pressure Switch was bad and oil was leakin from there i got it changed cost me like 25 bucks

 

did ur light stay on spadez911

 

hey guys when is said hell no i meat that the oil light woulndt come on when u make a turn or brake real hard like he asked. sorry if it was missunderstood its like your gas tank for example u know when you bake and the gas moves all over the place in the tank? your gas needle dosent move cuz the computer only takes a sample of data once every couple of minutes.

 

Mine moves. As soon as I take a corner with a bit of speed the gas needles goes down a bit. In a minute or 2 it goes back.
