hi i ahve a 4th gen and dont have a user manual, so can anyone tell me what teh blinking of the oil light means?

thanks

 

probably means your low on oil.
Does it blink all the time? or just every once in a while?

 

^^Yeah, oils low most likely..

Mine will blink when my is. Or if it is slightly low and I come to a hard stop it'll start then...
Check your oil level, and add some if it's low before ya burn something up!

 

Check the oil, maybe if your car is on a hill or it's not leveled it might come on, like when I'm low on gas and the car is not leveled the light comes on, but as soon as it's leveled again it goes off

 

is it normal for the car to lose oil?

 

haha, well no.

losing is a weird term to call it. Most call it "burning oil" or some worst cases "leaking oil". If it's older, you are most likely "burning" oil.

 

My oil light doesn't work and I wish it worked. Anything I can do to fix it?

 

oil light = low oil pressure, might not just mean low of oil

 

so what if its low pressure? wahts teh fix for that?

 

and is burning oil normal for a vtec engine?

 

Completely normal... Especially if you are running/hitting VTEC a lot.. You'll burn oil without a second thought...

a new oil pump

 

My oil light blinked the other day. I had just got it back from a rear main seal job, and they either filled it really low (after telling me they filled it up) or it lost 2.5 quarts in 2 days (wasn't fixed).

Anyway, it ended up being low oil level. Wait a while after you have run your car, wipe off the dipstick, stick it back in, and make sure its close to the top hole.

 

the oil light means really low oil pressure, it means the same thing on every car. when youre low on oil and brake or turn hard and it flashes, that means the oil pickup isnt getting oil cuz theres not enough in the pan. if yours is flashing all the time even though the oil is full, its time for an oil pump. if youve been driving it like this and your motor hasnt taken a ****, check the oil pressure sending unit

 

Check your dipstick, fill it up make and sure you have the right oil level. That will probaly fix it but if it doesn't then check your oil pressure switch, and then oil pump.
