oil light 92gsx

So I was driving yesterday and I was in line for 5-10 minutes, and it started to flicker on and off and went off when I got moving again. So is the light coming on from the heat? Or pressure?

it might just be a bad sensor, does your car have a factory oil pressure gauge? or just the dummy light?

also it could be that your oil is old and thinning out, was it a hot day? what oil weight do you run?

I accidently put 5w30 in on mine and when its really hot out and im driving for a long time it flickers when im idling so this could be your problem. Or it could be a faulty sending unit or your actually getting low oil pressure from a spun rod or main bearing hopefully not though.

It was 95 out, and I have 5w40

hopefully it's just the oil, that's never been my case though. I've spun a few rod bearings in these things

when was you last oil change? I'd run a 10w30 or 10w40 if you dd you car, and are you running full synthetic oil?

Check your harness connection to the sending unit. It is probably loose or broken. Very common problem on 4g63's.

its def the oil sensor for the dummy light not the pressure gauge.. mine is currently on and steady but have great oil pressure. im just to lazy to go buy a new sensor.

I had this happen to me once..Turns out it was just a loose connection..I thought something was going wrong..But I pulled the connectors off cleaned them up and put it back on, and not 1 problem since..
