I have a 1996 se-r with jwt stage 4 cams in it, and when the idle drops to around 600-700 rpm at the bottom of the lope, the oil light comes on when the car is warmed up. I just did an oil change with royal purple 5w30 and some Restore..it was fine before the oil change, and now its acting up....

my b13 E was doing the same with 165,xxx miles.. i just added thicker oil and went away, i added 10w-40 and a bottle of slick 50 and problem was solved...... try using a thicker viscocity

well thats the thing, i drained it, put some 10w40 in it yesterday to see if it did anything, and it kept up its antics...

is the motor ticking or anything when the light is on

WTF is restore and why did you put that in your motor? Sounds like it could have clogged something up.

Nothing at all when the light is on....noise wise

az-ser

did u put 3 and 5/8 of oil in it??

mine does the same thing ..when i park in a angle or inclined driveway

u'll see the oil light and then it will disapear right away


if ur worried....check the oil level after warm up=okay

then stomp on it for a bit....let it cool down for 3 minutes and check the oil level again=to be sure

I put in a little over 3.5 quarts in it, the oil level has stayed fairly ok...even after getting on it....maybe just the sensor then?

Will

Try another sensor.

Coheed

it could be the sensor, does your oil pan have any big dents in it? have you kept up on maint? did you change your oil filter when you changed the oil?

There are a couple little dents, nothing too severe. I have been doing oil changes routinely every 2500 to 3500 miles. The only thing is that i was pressed for time and took it to jiffy lube a few changes ago, and the filter had a bad gasket and blew all of the oil out...but i shut it off immediately, and coasted into a parking lot, and it doesn't seem to be making any undue noises...

zipstrips

you did add and check the level after this happened, i assume you put another filter on it too...

another example why its best to DIY and use oem filters....

az-ser

those dents can make a difference too....

I think the restore has something to do with this because my oil **** comes on at idle now after a flush with 10W40 and RESTORE. I am draining mine tomorrow again.
