Re: [T3] Oil Light...

["Keith Park" <topnotch@nycap.rr.com>]

 I dunno if I agree with the owners manual though, when new my engine had
12psi oil pressure at idle with 30wt when it came off the highway on a hot
day, the sender kicks in at 5psi if it's a good one, near zero if it's an
aftermarket one.

At 123K that engine is down to about 4-5 in the same conditions and Im
starting to see that flicker, but that's with 25W50,

Keith




It indicates low oil pressure.
 
This is normal, and was even called out in the owners manual for when these 
 cars were new.
 
Basically you don't need to do anything, unless IF you rev it up, and the  
oil light doesn't go out, as then you have a problem.
