The warning light is for oil pressure. The light only comes on when the oil pressure falls below 4psi, which is too late. | |

quote: The oil pressure sensor is on the back of the oil pump so if oil is being circulated then it is reaching the sensor. Oil might be shifting away from the oil pick up pipe (oil surge), but in this case the oil pump isn't picking up oil so things could easily get damaged. I'd check the sensor connector if the oil is within the limits, which is should be if you topped up yesterday! | |
