Hi guys
Basically when driving yesterday I just happened to look down at my dash and noticed my oil light was dim. I was on a section of road where I could not stop and the light then got brighter and then turned itself off. This was just on a gentle road with no extreme bends or cornering.
The engine oil was checked to be at maximum and there was no audible sound from the engine, my ears are very in tune and I can always hear from the tappets when the oil level starts to drop a tiny bit below maximum.
Basically I can't get to a garage until friday and wondering if this is a possible sensor issue. My fear is that there is a problem with either oil pump or filter but as I said the engine is running extremely smooth and not indicative of low oil pressure in the slightest.
The engine is however due an oil and filter change which I will do myself during the week just to be safe as it has been 4-5k since the last one
Is anyone in the know or had a similar experience with this matter??
Thanks!
Donald
