The only way to know for sure if your oil pressure is truly too low as is being indicated by the red dash oil light is to have a shop hook up a professional oil pressure gauge directly to your engine and measure the oil pressure at hot engine idle when it's the lowest. It should be at least 12 psi. If not, you might need a new oil pump. Of course your hoping it's a faulty oil pressure sensor which is a low cost repair to replace while your at the shop.

not enough oil is in your crankcase...check your oil... The viscosity of your oil gets thinner when it's hot and at an idle it drops slightly below safe oil pressure...when your turning your adding enough stress to your engine that it sends a low pressure light...


have this checked out as continuous low pressure can cause premature engine failure...


The reason it seems good as new when it's cold is the oil starts out thicker, but becomes thinner as it gets hot...


This whole problem may be it just is short some oil....
low oil. eletrical short on oil light.low oil pressure.wrong oil grade.???
Definately Gremlins im afraid.
