Just wondering if anyone has seen the oil pressure warning light flicker, at idle, after hard driving. I had it happen once, oil level was fine, flickering was gone after I restarted. I'd like to know if its typical or if the sensor needs replacing.

 

Search man common issue with the IX's. Most have replaced the sensor

 

I did search, on "oil pressure warning light", "oil light flicker", etc. I only found one relevent post. What keywords would you suggest I search on? thanks.

 

gotten it here same thing happend to me. after a good run with the car may flicker here and there but then checked and everything is good. never had a problem after so i wouldnt be too worried

 

Check the oil pressure sensor on the oil filter housing for any corrosion. I had this happen to me. Oil light would come on and either stay on or flicker at idle. As soon as you raise the rpm's off idle the light goes out. My sensor connector was corroded and I replaced it along with the sensor. Purchased it from Mitsu for like $26. Repaired issue. GL

oil pressure switch 30 bucks one hour labor at your stealership. happens alot to eclipses so your stealership should have it in stock

 

I have the same thing happening after hard driving. Do your rpms drop down almost like the car wants to stall?

 

It takes like 20 minutes to change.. Its really not that hard

 

i did then my motor spun a bearing 4 weeks later and my oil level was good too ohh well to bad

 

If you change it and the light still flickers then obviously its not the sensor.. if your oil level was good, you replaced the sensor.. your light is telling the truth.. then take it in..
