Time for regular service interval?

 

[dodger]

No i had a tune up in nov.

I think the light is triggered by low oil pressure. Sounds like the oil pump is on the way out...

 

[dodger]

Well, if it is my oil pump, is there a way to tell,.And if the oil pump stops working all to geather, can you tell before damage is done.

Seems like some of the intrepids had a oil light that came on at regular intervals to remind of service, but I am not certain. I know GM's do.

 

[dodger]

Well. that wood be cool ,but can a guy trust that,i mean i got this cool car that looks so great, but keeps low ballin me.
Is is the christ corp, just going for looks , and going to continue with mach crap for the rest of forever.

I've never heard of the oil light being used as a service reminder. Check engine light yes, but not the oil light.

 

[dodger]

Well, thanks for all the replies people,.
The oil light still comes on when it feels like it,but there is no outher signs of trouble, hopefully this is a censor malfunction.

Yup, could be a bad sensor. If so, it should be pretty easy to fix.

I think you should get it checked out though.
