Toysrme Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Which oil light.... the red oil light is the red light of death the yellow oil light, barring it's been screwed up & no longer floats to the oil level, means fill the *BLEEP*ing engine with oil you're almost out lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You did not say what year ES you have, but there are several things that can cause low oil pressure besides the pump. It also depends on when the light comes on. Is it right away or after a while. Is your car running hot? An OBDII engine throwing a code could cause a trans to behave differently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "low oil level" warning light comes on after approx 15 mins of highway driving even though the oil level is full. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the oil light come on while doing 75 on the interstate, ended up getting it towed home and tearing out the oil pump. Oil pump was fine, but in the process of tearing it out, I noticed the pickup tube was clogged up with silicone pieces. So yeah, check the pickup tube first. When i put the pan back on I did a thin layer of silicone but i had a leak, so I had to apply more. So i can see how the silicone makes it into the pan :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
