u know how when you turn your car on. the engine light and oil light pop up and dissapear right away.. well my oil light stay on for like 10 secondd and it turn off. IS THAT NORMAL? or there somethanggg wrong. and does it affect vtec?
becauseee

sometime after i hit vtec i feel like my car is loosing a lil power. like when i slam the gas pedal my car doesnt seem fast...(that after i hitt vtec)AND THIS SOMETIME HAPPEN only. like every other day. and soemtime vtec just work normalllyy.. . please give me some advice.. thank you.

 

if oil light comes on when you hit vtec it means you need oil...

 

the light stay on for 10 sec when i turn the engine on .and it turnn off. it only happen when i turn the car on.

 

Go be smart and safe and check your oil level before driving again.

 

I remember seeing something about this in the manual, but I dont remember what

Did oyu think of checking it?

I remember it says it should stay on for a few seconds then dissapear. If its on for 10 sec or more (or something like that) or on constantly, you need to do whatever it says in the manual. I think it said stop driving immediately

 

Could be a failing oil pressure switch.

Check engine oil, if oil is fine.. You need to check your oil pressure.

 

eventhough after i change my oil. it still stay on for like 5 sec maybe not 10 but at least 5. this happen only when i turn the car on. it stay on for 5 sec than dissapearr. NOT WHILE IM DRIVING.

if only when u turn it on i dont see reason to worry lol

 

what weight oil are you using that could be the reason it takes so long for the light to come off. because it takes too long for the pump to build up pressure because the oil is to thick, it should be 5/20.

honda recommends 5w30. and yes, check the oil level.

 

another troubleshooting tip is turn ignition to number 2, where you're heat and a/c works, and power windows wokr without car running, and see if the red oil light stays solid...
or if it does the same thing
