hi All!
I'm not sure if it's oil light if you look on the picture it's the first light from the right (the yellow one under the temperature)
in last few days it's started switching on. goes on for like 2-5 seconds and then goes off. so far this happened only while car is moving. any suggestions?

That is your oil level warning light, so you're probably low on oil. Handy feature on the UK/European Galants, that. Normally, should come on and go out as soon as engine is started. The JDMs only have the red light to warn you of oil related issues....:uhoh2:

ok, thanks, i'll check the oil level, but it's realy strange that this happend only while car is moving.
p.s. this light goes off as soon as engine is started.

Perhaps low oil, means it moves up, and down over the sensor?

Would being 1.5litres down really cause the light to flicker?!
