Post by QUOC2008 »

mr2 na rev5 oil pressure light keeps going on when i go over 60 mph high gears mainly But there no sign of the car losing oil or burning oil and have been driving it hard and fast with no rattling or no problems with car cold start or hot just a funny oil pressure light come up.

is the light red or yellow?

being an NA if its a UK, itll have an oil level sender, yellow light

red light is oil pressure

the oil level senders fail, usually flickering the light...

Check the level...

If it's low...top it up :)

If it's fine...you need a new sensor :)

If sump is full of oil, no point in looking at oil level sensor to solve an oil pressure problem.

I thought alternator problems can cause the oil light to come on?
