Re: Oil Light Update



as has been said get the pressure checked at the head.  I have seen
thicker weight oil stop many lights from coming on and I would recommend
checking pressure anyway.  Oil pumps have been known to go but the light
problems usually seems to be sender related. poor Ground wires to the
engine/battery also make the lights come on unnessicarily (I cant spell,
ok) but that usually causes the lights to come all or most of the time.
