oil light is on

whats up
ok today on my way home from work i noticed that my oil light was on. so i went home and checked the oil and it looked a little on the high side. i got the oil changed last saturday. could the light be caused by the high oil level or is it the oil pump.
thanks

never seen the light come on for too HIGH of a level… now seeing the oil blowing out the exh. for too much oil in the case …YES!.

did the light stay on, or did it jus come on then off?

might have simply had a glogged filter before?

usually the light comes on with too low of a level though…:confused:

the light was flashing
i havent noticed any oil blowen in the exhaust or anything
i dont know
it just out of no where started flashing
its going to the shop tomarow to have the speedo cable fixed so i will tell the about it.
when the oil light comes on does that meen im throwing a code like if the check engine light comes on or is it just an indicator light just to tell you something is wrong but dont know what it is
thanks

the oil light usually will go off when there is not enough oil in the engine for proper lubrication of the engine… if its headed in the shop jus mention it to the tech…

yeah thats what im gona do but i just wanted to see if anyone here had any ideas of what it could be
but thanks for your help speeddaddly

I’m Having a similar problem . My light will flicker then go off or continue flashing , I check my oil and its fine ! I’m thinking the opil sending unit maybe:confused:

yeah i talked to my mechanic and he said its probably a sending unit. are those hard to replace and are they expensive.
do you know where is it located

my car is doing the same ****, BR in another post said it flashes when the oil pressure is low in the oil pump, in that case it could be the oil pump…my stepfather is a ford mechanic of 30+ years and he thinks it is the oil pressure sending unit…

you got it fixed yet dude? let us know…

no i didnt get it fixed yet it stopped doing it for a while so i just forgot about it, but it did it again last week. but i dont know it im not to worried about it right now because it isnt on constantly. but if you find out what it is and fix it let me know so i can fix what ever it is.
