Oil Light Issues
« on: July 05, 2006, 01:44:24 PM »
I read an older post from somebody who had similar issues, but didn't want to try digging that up again so here it goes...

The oil light in my 88.5 sammy turns on and off when the engine's at a hot idle; gunning the engine turns it off, but it'll come back as soon as it hits a low idle again, and blink annoyingly. When going downhill, the light sometimes turns on even when under power, and always when coasting at an idle. A hard right turn will cause the light to blink momentarily.  ???

I've checked the oil and seem to have plenty, and the oil was changed about 1000 miles ago. What's goin' on here? Maybe some of you zook-gurus have some advice for me.

Cheers, guys.
