Hey guys. I hate to clutter up the forums but i have an issue with my teggy. A few days ago. I went on a 600 road trip in a day. And my car burns a little oil. Filled it up before i took off and that was that.. I get home. Dont drive it for a few days.. Then just yesterday. On my way to work. I see that oil light come on.. I was like ohh ****!. So i pulled over and put oil in the car. I was stupid and i probably put a quart or two over. I finished driving to work tho with the light off. Thought nothing of it. I leave work that day and i see that the light comes back on. I stop and check the oil and i see that i have wat too much. Manhandled the oil filter off and turned the car ove a few times. Oil level was good but i still got the oil light. Today i change my oil and filter. Levels are perfect. But i still got the oil light. It blinks like an alarm clock. I have a vid for you guys. Thank you!

possible oil pump going out? usually when the oil light flashes it either means there is a lack of oil pressure or oil.

 

don't drive it until you figure it out.

 

Its got perfect amount of oil. Ive heard that maybe the pressure sending unit is going out?

 

either your oil pressure switch is going bad or the bearings in your motor are worn out, oil pumps don't typically wear out

 

you just have to figure out if your pressure switch is working.

 

How do i figure that out. Today on the way to work. The light didnt flash or come on at all. Im just gonna wait amd see what happens. But for future reference. How do u trouble shoot the pressure switch thing?

 

Well it started flashing again.. Ahh. Im pretty worried. Any of yoi guys have info on the oil pressure switch?

 

i personally would not drive it tell you figure it out, because if the motor isnt getting proper oil pressure then it could destroy the whole motor very quickly.

as for testing the oil pressure sending unit im not positive on how to do it so i hope that someone with a little more knowledge will chime in and let you know. i would search everywhere to see if you can hunt it down.
