Synthetic Oil

Not sure if the pressure is normal. IT seems when I come to a 'stop' the oil light comes on? I had it serviced on Saturday and the light just started coming on this evening.

Have a call into the dealership and yes they better fix it for nothing. I have put a new battery, new tires, new brake pads, new fan switch, new wipers and have it serviced regularly for oil changes. So there should be absolutely nothing else wrong. But there always seems to be something with this car.

Thanks for your reply.

89,000 kilometres, bought it when it had 44,000 on it. Basically my kilometres are all highway driving.

The operating conditions of the vehicle are fine. It runs very well. It just seems that since I bought the car I have had to replace too many things. I kind of blame the dealership I bought it from as I am sure some of this stuff was noted but they did not want to spend the $$$.

I always think that. After I have the car fixed. Okay now it should be good and then something else comes up. I think it is just a 'lemon' and unfortunately I got stuck with it. I am going back to the shop tomorrow (Friday) so will see why my oil pressure light is coming on. I am seriously thinking on trading it in. Will let you know what they tell me.

They told me it 'could' be the 'sensor'. However, I made an appointment for 10 am. By 11:30 they still had not looked at my car. Briefly someone said it could be that but they were on another big job? Anyhow. 135.00 to test to see if that is it and another $160.00 for the sensor. Said Oil was clear and full. So I said forget it!

Yes I am not spending any more money on this car. If there is something else that goes wrong (major issue) then I will get rid of the vehicle but until then. Will keep driving it. Thanks very much for your assistance.

Just had my oil changed again and now my engine light is on. Car is running fine? One problem after another! Can you advise as to what the problem would be this time? Thanks!

It has 99,000 kilometres on it. Last time they put it on the computer and something had to be updated. Will take it and see what they say. Will let you know. Thanks.

Well. Never took it. Rather saying goodbye to it. Went to dealer and I am getting a 2009 Jeep Wrangler Sahara Unlimited. Hopefully will have no troubles. Thanks for your help.

The oil pressure sending unit goes out on these cars once and awhile, the dealer could have done it for 85 dollars. Your one of the people that gets upset when your car needs normal maintenance like brakes. You think because they did an oil change it's their fault the sending unit went out. Like getting a flat after an oil change, it had to be their fault. Next time take a used car to a mechanic and they can give you a cost to fix the car before you buy it. I have a 04 and 05 with 200,000 miles and they run great because I keep up the maintenance
