oil pressure lamp lights up. - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #89243 4 posts Started by smetjet
Every now and then my oil pressure lamp lights up during a fraction of a second and this mostly when taking fast left corners, it's a 1.8i from 1994 and the oil level is normal.
Reported this to my mechanic and to him everithyng seems normal.
Any problem on its way, or is it just a "20 years old car" issue and no need to worrie?
the oil is sloshing around and you loose pressure for a second, you could add a little more oil so you are just above the hash marks on the dipstick.

Thx Smaay wink.gif , tried wat you said and (adding oil above the hash mark) ...no more flashing (life can be so simple ...somethimes)
sometimes its your wiring, its either tapping a bit making the blinking light.
