My oil was on, but was very dim. (low).
Engine B18a
I decide to change out the Oil pump to type R one, and the pressure sensor..
I was running fine after the change. for 10 miles. (1 day)
Next day the oil light flickers...


Any other problem that could cause this light to flicker or be on.?
going to go buy a oil gauge this weekend..

When does the light come on? is the car hot or cold? are you driving or at idle? what oil are you using? what oil filter are you using?

have you checked the wiring? if the oil presure sensor wire grounds out it can make the light come on. Get the pressure gauge installed, that will tell you a LOT more of whats going on

Lights come on 5 sec after car starts. Take's about another 10 sec to start flashing.
using 10w30 mobile. Fram filter. Wiring is okay.

 

try and disconnect the wire from the oil pressure switch and start your car.. see if the light come back on.

Gauge installed.
Readings:
idle = 18-20 psi
2500= 50 psi
3500 = 50 psi
2500 = 50 psi while driving
4000 = 60 psi while driving
Is this normal?
The light is still on....
Disconnect the sensor and light is on.
Try to ground it.. nothing... light is on.

 

One more thing.
When the engine is cold....
1400 rpm...
it's 75 psi...
Seem like it's max out on 75 psi

 

yeah thats all normal, thats what mine used to do exactly....untill recently

 

but damm my light is still on....
I change out 3 oil pressure sensor so far and same thing.

I should brought the oil gauge first before throwing a new oil pump in....
