low motor oil blinks on turns..... 95 accord .. help
im not sure if the sensor is loose or not but if im doing turns at like 10-15mph... the light would come on and if i dont brake harder.. it will start blinking.. i thought oil was low but i checked and its normal.. but i poured alitle more in but it still blinks on turns.. it really is anoooying. even if i come to a stop pretty quickly.. it'll come on then go off... anyone got any ideas?
Loose connection to the oil pressure sensor (located on the back of the block above your oil filter)
After you rule out flaky wiring at the sensor, then remember it doesn't measure oil level. It measures pressure. Low pressure can be from a few different reasons. Like maybe a clogged pickup screen in the pan?
If you take off the oil pan you will see it (at the bottom of the pan where the oil is sucked up). You may have to remove some other stuff to get the pan off (exhaust and maybe a cross brace). Messy and not much fun. Spray exhaust bolts with liquid wrench before you start they can be a bitch and snap on you. New exhaust bolts may be a good idea to reinstall.
Did you check the pressure sensor first? That would be a much easier thing to check out.
