Are you saying there is enough oil in motor? If so could be low oil pressure and or bad sender, how many miles? how hot was it when oil light came on? If it does it only HOT and at idle that is kinda of normal as it means low oil pressure at idle, Porsche talks about that in their owners manual say back in the 80;s SC's and 911's
If the light is red in color, it means trouble. It could be something as small a matter as the wrong weight of motor oil. A green light, provided on some engines, would indicate all is well.
You may be low on oil, add some. You may not have changed the oil recently. Change it, the oil may have lost its viscosity and the filter is clogged.
As soon as the 2003 Buick Regal change oil light comes on, it is important to do so immediately. Not changing your oil can damage the motor in your car.
Not enough oil was replaced. If this is not the case then oil pressure may be low.
Maybe the oil pump isn't circulating enough oil.
As long as the light remains in the motor oil, nothing happens to its speed.
Usually it means you don't have enough oil in the motor. Check it! If the oil level is good try having the oil changed, it could be the warning light is because of a clogged filter or really cruddy oil.
check your oil level. when the engine is not reved up ( at a light ) the oil in your pan settles which if level is low enough will turn your check oil light on
Your oil light comes on when the OIL PRESSURE is too low ( your engine oil LEVEL may be O.K. )
Motor oil does in fact freeze. Most motor oil never actually reaches the point where it is cold enough to freeze though.
May be oil pressure. Be careful. Maybe chek where the oil sensor is. Valves???
If the oil light came on before the engine died then, no. The Oil Light is not an indication of the fuel pump or relay. The Oil Light comes on when the oil preasure drops too low, which can happen when the oil pump goes out, the oil passages are restricted or the vehicle is too low on oil. If the Oil Light came on when the motor died or shortly after, that is normal, because the motor stopped running, thus stopping the oil pump. If your oil light came on well before the motor died, then either you were about out of oil or the oil pump quit...... AND if that happened and then your engine died..... you're looking at replacing/rebuilding the engine.
