My problem is low oil light when vehicle is in normal operating temperature on idle. Then it goes away as I put foot on the gas pedal. What would cause problem? I've recently change crankshaft, main bearings and rod bearings, new oil pump.

Hello,

Have you checked the oil level of your vehicle with the engine oil dipstick? This would be the best way to ensure that your vehicle has the proper amount of oil in it. I would also recommend that you double check the front and rear main oil seals and the oil pan gasket to make sure there are no oil leaks. Please get back to us with what you are able to find out.

Thanks,
