Weird Oil light.

So my Oil light only is on sometimes, it never flashes, but the light just stays on. Sometimes ill turn on the car, and the light will be on, sometimes, maybe even later in the day, ill turn the car on, and the oil light isnt on at all. Asked my parents about it (handed it down to me) they said that its just been like that for a long time, got an oil change in August of 2013.

Well it sounds like you’re due for another oil change…

As for the light, check the connection at the sending unit on the back of the engine block. It is a single wire connector. Poor continuity could be causing your problem.

Could also be a bad intergrated control module that is located behind the under dash fuse box. Check and see if your intermitten wiper speed works and your rear window defrost. It controls all that too. I’ve had to replace that box in every 92-93 integra I’ve owned for dim oil light on while driving and no intermitten wiper speed.

My intermittent doesn’t work but my rear defrost does.

And I think my oil is fine, only put maybe 1000-2000 miles on it since the last one.

check the connection at the sender, as well as wiring near it. the location makes it prone to oil damage. if it’s a good connection and wiring looks good, manually check oil pressure. see if it falls within spec.

woah never new that…
do you have a picture of this box?
