oil light coming on
hi everyone, my oil light has started to come on when I stop for a stop sign, or waiting for a light to turn green, once you start moving it goes out. I checked the oil level and it is good , the oil was changed about two months ago . anybody have this problem before? thanks .

Does your oil pressure gauge drop when the light comes on? If yes, get you engine oil pump replaced ASAP before it fails and causes loads of damage!

Re: oil light coming on
Sounds to me like the oil pump is going out for sure. Light comes on because the engine rpm drops and it stops moving enough oil. Comes on again when your rpm goes up and it can finally pump enough.
