    Oil Light

    Hi I have already put in two new oil pressure senders from my local parts store. Same store and both have done the same thing.

    Heres the story. My 91' has 172000 miles and runs good, it has the normal honda engine sounds but runs good. Today I went for a ride and was parked and when I turned the wheel to leave the oil light came on really dim and flickering. I said to myself oh its just this one time. Then when I got home I let it idle and the light would flicker and maybe come on solid for a second, but any gas turned it off.

    My question is are oil pressure senders from other companies then honda apt to fail sooner?
    I replaced this less then 3,000 miles ago and the one before that was the same thing about 3,000 miles.

    My Honda dealer gave a price of something like $40, but I can get one from my local parts store for $6.


    The oil level in the car is good right to the fill mark.

    If the light goes off when you press the gas it could be the oil pump :/ or the oil pick up could be clogged or damaged. Is there any sludge in the engine

      I let the car sit and let it warm up went for a ride and the light never came back on. I could pretty much stall the car and the light never came on. So im going to let it ride and see if it starts back up. I went through this before and it was the sensor.

                So today when I was driving after the car warmed up when I put the clutch in the oil light would come. So I got out and checked the oil and it was really watery. It would drip right off the dipstick like nothing. What could cause this. The car wasn't making any kind of noises so it didn't do anything Should I change the oil? When I give it gas the light would start to blink.

                One thing I am going to do is get a mechanical oil gauge to see where its at.
