Hey guys, I noticed my oil light blinking on and off at idle. Haven't seen it flash while I'm driving though. I just got an oil change less than 1,000 ago..what could the issue be? Anyone have this happen to them?

 

The sensor might be bad. But that's really not a light you want to take chances with. I would take it to someone. I'm assuming you have already checked the oil level???

 

yea its the sensor this is common with the IX's

 

Seems to be common with cammed Evos.

 

is it a bad sensor, or is the sensor just very sensitive from the factory? my IX has done this since new,

Only happens if something causes the idle to be low/rough (leaving the gas cap off, letting the clutch out slowly without gas) and so on.

If I can take it in for a waranty fix I would be stoked!

 

Thats odd.Hopefully its nothing serious.Ive never had that happen to me before.

 

Yeah more than likely its just the sensor. Two of my friends cars did that and they took it in a got it fixed.

 

That happened right before I spun my bearing....oops

 

heh x2.

quadruple check your oil levels.

 

No! I keep oil in my car!

 

yes, my oil level has been fine.

 

ouch that sucks.....time for a build
