Here's the symptom; it started today. Started car, drove down the road, after 3-5 minutes, the oil light comes on? Thought I might have a loose wire when it happen this morning, but it checked out OK. Then again on the way home, and same when I drove somewhere else tonight. Topped up oil, but it didn't need much, so oil levels were OK. The light isn't coming on immediately, but only after a little bit of time on the road. So what could this mean? I have a couple of thoughts.
a/ Oil pump starting to go bad?
b/ A blockage/restriction has developed in one of the oil channels
c/ Both of the above.
d/ Something I haven't thought of......
What do people think? What would be your first course of action? I'm thinking the first course of action might be an oil and filter change, and maybe using one of those oil flush additives in the oil just before the change.
