Hi everyone,
I recently noted the my oil pressure light is coming on. As soon as I start the engine from cold, the light goes off, but then it goes back on as the engine warms up. When I rev the engine, the light goes off as well? Doesn't make sense in as the oil would be easier to pump at high temps as it becomes less viscous and if there's blockages I'd assume the light would just stay on?
I think it's the original pressure switch and seemed to work OK, and I've checked the wiring and this also seems to be OK.
If I crank the engine I can see oil coming out from the port the switch is installed. I've not removed the tappet covers but have taken the cylinder head side covers - there are signs of oil on the o-rings, but it's not spilling out the holes when the engine is running.
I'll probably buy a new switch, change the oil and filter, clean the mesh at the same time as a starting point. But any advice on what else to consider?
