ES_300 Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I have 99 ES300 with about 111K on the clock. Last year my Oil pressure light came on and I took it to the workshop, where they said it’s the sludge problem so I got it fixed and they replaced the Oil Pump also. Everything seemed to work fine but after 5/6 K miles the light came on again, but when I used to press the Gas pedal it was going away and releasing the gas pedal making it come on again. I checked the owners manual where it said "It could come ON after a hard stop or if the Oil level is extremely low and if it is constantly ON then take it to dealership but if you accelerate and it goes away then there is nothing serious and there is no particular reason for this light to come on" So I just took it for Oil change as I already got the oil pump replaced, and after changing the oil the light didn't come on again until yesterday and after about 1100 miles after changing the oil. I am just confused what is going on with it. Can you guys suggest something? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
