Oil Light in Sharp Turns

Post by MX3-Life »

Whenever i take a sharp turn my Oil Light goes on and my oil level is fine so i figure its either,
1) Oil Pump
2) Oil Pressure Sender

Any ideas or if this has happen to you what was it. Tips/Comments very welcome
And if someone could tell me how to change the Oil Pressure Sender on a MX3 that also would be great.
Thanks.

you might want to just change oil filter with quality products. Oil sender unit is easy, just unplug wire that goes to it and it screws off, then just screw new one on there.

my friend had the same issue when he got grippy tires and a decent suspension. this was on an ep3 (03civic hatch) i installed a set of koni adjustables on the four corners with b&g springs and we took it on some back roads. where he could only go 70 before was doing close to 90 and the g forces took oil away at certain points, so just run a half quart ove capacity and it should be fixed. same trick i use in racing to prevent oil starvation at any rpm.
