Re: [T3] oil light flicker


<x-flowed>KevinG=> when I got to the off ramp and kind of coasted off
=> the highway-my oil pressure light would flicker and come on,
=> but if I revved the engine, the light went out. Any thoughts?

This is not unusual for any ACVW motor once it's seen significant mileage.
Hot oil + worn bearings = low oil pressure. Not a problem as long as the light goes out.


I'd also like to remind everyone that the quality of the pressure sensors we've been getting in the last ten years isn't what it used to be, and their trigger points vary quite a bit.
