Re: oil light flickering
what did you do, did you check oil level, did you change it recently?

Re: oil light flickering
But you have checked the oil level, right?
If you haven't changed your oil lately you probably should. And the filter.

Re: oil light flickering
your oil sender is bad...replace it. Or if yo udon't care about it working properly (like me), just cut the wire off of it and hook up an aftermarket oil pressure gauge ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)

Re: oil light flickering
How much oil are you putting in it? Also, have you done any kind of kerosene or ATF flush to clean out the oil passages? Maybe there's a clog around the oil sending unit?Originally posted by Jonnieb:
