Hello to all Gen2 integra owners,

I have a 1992 Integra GS 1.8L and my oil light stays on for a while after starting up and driving away and slowly dims away. Oil is just slightly below full mark in the oil pan but I was wondering if my oil pump is going bad or is there a oil sensor part that is going bad?? Any suggestions would be great!! It just slowly dims away.

Sounds like the oil pump, but usually after that light comes on, its just too late. Good luck!

 

i wouldn't drive that car until you figure the problem out. the oil light doesn't turn on until the pressure is pretty close to zero.

 

in a short sense, if you see that oil light come on, your ****ed.
here is what you need to do

1) replace the oil sending unit. if this is faulty, it could be throwing a false light 7$
2) if its still coming on, that means you have under 7 lbs of oil pressure inside your engine
3)if you still want to make sure you can have the pressure checked at a shop
4) You can replace the oil pump if your crank isnt already knocking or ****ed up.
oil pumps go for 100 at the honda dealer, to replace it everything will have to be taken off on the timing side.
