October 10, 200520 yr This morning I start my car....after 1 min. when to go out from the parking my OIL light be on.....for about 10 seconds and after that oil light has go back off. Otherwise my engine is working fine. Oil has 6.000 KM(Valvoline 15W40)...Is bad????How bad???? Please, please... tell me what to do:banghead:
October 10, 200520 yr check the oil level. if it's not low, and you're not hearing any knocking coming from your engine, then it's not a big deal.
October 10, 200520 yr The sender could be going bad. 6,000 kms is a bit much but not too much. Is the engine making noise? BTW, your first post was before 6am EST. Most people don't get on that early.
October 10, 200520 yr Author Oil level is ok. About noise.....is nothing unusual heard from the engine...what kind of noise should be??? Thanks allot guys......I'am waiting any other advices.
October 10, 200520 yr Oil pressure goes down if the idle speed is too low. Sometimes this happens during warm up. Just watch it the next few times you warm it up. If you want to, put an oil pressure guage on it. Cheap enough...Good luck!
October 10, 200520 yr Author Engine was around 1500 rpm when oil light goes on....thank you anyway guys and wait other suggestions or things to be inspected.. You are a really help here...with this message board:rolleyes:
October 10, 200520 yr Would have you check the wire going to the sender on the oil pump, looking for bare or frayed wire. If the wire has a bare spot in it, it would ground the circuit turning on the light, especially if it's being real irratic The oil gauges on these are known for being iffy at low pressure, not to sure about ones with the oil light.
October 10, 200520 yr Oil level is ok. About noise.....is nothing unusual heard from the engine...what kind of noise should be??? Thanks allot guys......I'am waiting any other advices. The noise that you would probably hear first would be from the Hydraulic Valve Lash Adjusters, and although there would be no damage it would certainly sound like the engine was being damaged. The sound would be loud and similar to rod bearing noise, and should have been very audible at 1500rpm. If you were not frightened by the noise when the oil light was on, then I would agree with Qman and others that the light tuned on due to sender or wiring problems.
October 10, 200520 yr Author Thanks....will be great because I am verry verry sad.....and worried. Anyway i hope that my bad english did not make you so many problems in understanding my problems. I wish you all the best in the world..
October 16, 200520 yr Author Ok....cylinder pressure is: cyl 1 and 3: 8 bar cyl 2 and 4?: 9 bar Wire(oil pressure) is ok...What else could be?...any other idea?? Thank you.
October 17, 200520 yr Hook a gauge up to it right at the sender just to make sure you haven't lost the ball and spring thing in the oil pump. If all is well, you can go back to the idiot light with no worries.
October 17, 200520 yr Author Did the trouble coencide with a change in the weather? Yes.....winter is comming:drunk:
October 17, 200520 yr Author Well......I'm wondering why FirstSubaruGLwagon asked me about weather???? You guys now about this????:-\ vbmenu_register("postmenu_355134", true);
October 17, 200520 yr Author Could be this problem caused by the fact that I'm starting and runing my engine on LPG and is more dry than gasoline??? Sorry again my english.
