RE: [DML] Oil Light

Luis,
The oil pressure sending unit on the drivers side of the front part of the
block may need replacing. They are only $11.50. Also be sure your running a
20/40 or 20/50 weight oil to get the correct pressure.
If the cat was not glowing red then it should be ok, it get real hot.

Subject: [DML] Oil Light



I'm still new at being my own mechanic, and reciently I have had the
oil light come on, and does not turn off.  The oil pressure gauge
indicate between 1/4 to 1/2, I checked and added some oil, but yet
it stay on.  Is it possible to put a oil pressure gauge right into
the sensors opening and take readings?  Any guess as to what it may
be.  Unfortuneatly, the car had sat for some time, when I finally
got it running this happened.

This leads me to another question.  While adding oil, I had spilled
some onto the Cat - a fire started due to this,
