The oil light started coming on and it is mostly when I'm idling or slowing down. When I get on the highway and put it on cruise, it goes off. A couple of nights ago, I got on the highway and it stayed on. I was told to put a little heavier oil in and it should help. I did that and now it goes off on the highway again.

I was also told that if the light comes on and stays on, I'm looking at big $$ to have it fixed. I'm wondering if an oil pump might take care of the problem, if it's something I could do myself or if it's already beyond that.

Thanks!

Check the oil pressure with a mechanical gauge if normal replace the oil pressure switch abnormal could mean oil pump and engine bearings
