Low oil light won't turn off...

[elsaddiq]

So, after a recent oil change, the low oil light came on, which, of course, scared me a bit as I was motoring down the highway at a high rate of speed. I pulled over to check it and the levels were fine. I tried resetting it, letting the engine cool down, restarting the car, etc. It just won't go off. It's been on for three days now, so needless to say, I check the level a lot. Anyone else experience this and possibly have a cure?

Have you paid attention to oil pressure? Oil level could be fine but your oil pressure may not be

 

[elsaddiq]

Pressure stays around the midpoint (40) when driving and drops down to the 1/4 point at idle. Should I be worried?

 

[07Burb]

Not sure. When driving down the highway my oil pressure is at 55-60 psi and dips to about 30-35 psi when idling. something to watch out for, though.

Did you try to disconnect the battery for a while? Any codes?

 

[elsaddiq]

I haven't disconnected the battery yet but I'll give that a shot. Where would I view codes? I haven't seen any on the info screen.
