If the oil light only comes on when the engine is hot and on idle look at your oil pressure gauge to see if the needle is going down to the low end of the scale if so give it a service and make sure you use 10w 40oil reccomended for frontera and you can put in slick50 or other engine oil additive this will increase your oil pressure and stop the light coming on
I would reccommend that you use 10w40 Semi Synthetic It's a good quality and well priced oil suitable for your car.
if its a diesel 2.3 then its 5.5 lts
it is just to the right of the dip stick undo the big plastic nut and you will find it. have rag ready as its a messy job
your oil pump could be on the way out also check the oil pick up it could be blocked due to lack of oil changes Answer 2: If the oil pressure guage reads ok, then it is an electrical problem.
5.5 Litres of 10/40.
about 2.2ltr
the price of a genuine vauxhall oil pressure pump for the 2.2 16v with engine code X22XE from my local vauxhall dealer was £169 + vat that price was 4 weeks ago ( 14/12/09 ) cos i had to buy one for mine
if its a frontera 'a' , on the 2.2 engine (with code x22xe) its an integral part of the oil filter housing and sadly, only on this engine, its not a cheap fix as i found out to my expense ( as i own a fronty with this engine ! ) the whole asembly is around £130 and you have to buy the complete unit. if its a oil pressure problem your having, then try changing/cleaning the relief valve first
u need a new car
how do I fill the gearbox oil on a vauxhall vectra
