How do you get change engine oil light to go out after you change oil?

If the light was on before you changed the oil and you now have the correct amount of oil, and correct viscosity, then it can be that your oil pump is defective. not putting out enough pressure. if you have an oil gauge, if that shows oil pressure is OK, then your light can be shorted out.


Oil light used to come on only when idle now it is always on Have your oil changed every 3000 and they tell you oil pressure is good?

Have they checked the oil pressure sending unit? How about the wire leading from the unit to the gauge?


You changed the oil on your 1992 Chevy truck and now your oil pressure gage runs very low and drops to zero when it is ideling why?

Why is your 94 Caprice running fine and occasionally losing oil pressure and dying?

What happens first? Pressure/Engine Dying? Has the oil always been changed? If not oil will form sludge, when the oil is finally changed, the detergent in the new oil breaks free the sludge which can get sucked into the oil pump intake. this would cause an immediate loss of oil pressure and engine issues. Thats been my experience with sudden oil pressure loss issues. Dan


You changed oil but oil pressure light still on?

You may be losing oil pressure because of a blown head-gasket. If you have a computer which alerts you to oil pressure or service soon after you just had it serviced you'll need to reprogram it


2000 low oil pressure light on What is the problem?

For me I think it was my oil pressure switch. I had the light popping up on occassion and then one day I had a low oil level light on. I wiggled the wire around the oil pressure switch and now both lights are gone. My oil was just changed so I know my oil was not low. Check your connection on the oil pressure switch I was going to throw a new switch in because they are cheap but instead just wiggled the wire it looked hard to get out.


What should you check if you have high oil pressure in a 82 Chevy 350?

the weight of oil that is in the motor...10w-30 is more than enough, if the oil was changed and say 20w-50 oil was put in then your oil pressure is going to be higher...the oil is thicker or heavier

What does the Chevy 6500 diesel oilwrench dahboard warning light mean if the oil is full and pressure seems ok?

The warning light can come on when it is time to change the oil. Your oil pressure and oil level can be at recommended levels when the oil needs to be changed.
