Oil Light Flicker at low revs

[BraindG]

I'm currently experiencing this issue

After a bit of searching a found a few reasons, dump valve, oil pressure and stepper motor - but the threads are from 2007.

I'm going to check the Blow off, i did araldite the plastic vavle several moons ago.

Anyone got any other ideas/experience?

Chairs.

I have had this happen on a customers kawasaki but only found out about when he brought it for a service.... turned out to be degrading of the engine oil over a period of time and use......i also changed the oil pressure switch to make sure..


i know that was on motorcycle so dont know if that would relate to your issue




hope it help's Tony

It could be the oil pressure sensor itself, a few people have had them cause problems.

What you really should be doing though Barry is hooking up an oil pressure gauge.

[Wodjno]

I take it that you have checked your oil level Barry ?

[White Lightning]

Yep, as Brad says get an oil pressure gauge on there.

Hopefully, it's just the oil pressure sensor though.

Yeah, oil level is fine mate, I took the blow off valve off and I think the plastic valve is knackered again need to take apart to full see though.

Would need to be a cheapo oil gauge ideas?

My car does this on 0W30 when it is stoopid hot. And has done since I owned it. I never get it on 5W40 though. I should probably get an oil pressure gauge in too!!

oil pressure switch

had the same issue on an outlander a few year ago.

The oil pick-up in your sump might be partially blocked, and seeing as it's fairly easy to check it might be worth looking into.

K, the problem appears to be the Dump valve, again..

Nah, bit of araldite will sort it for another couple years, no?

Araldite = fixes anything broken

Is "gratis" cheap enough? Let me know if you still want one.

edit/: Just seen your other thread. Mine would only be a simple test gauge not a nice
"in-car" type
