slightly off topic i know but my shed sometimes throws up a low oil level on the mid during a good run at motorway speeds Wink

( NO oil presure light or rattles from the engine / engine runs sweet )

5 mins after you have slowed down, the light disapears

pull over and the dipstick shows oil at least half way up the stick.
anything below 60 mph and you get no problem.

i've had the sump off
oil pickup was clean so i just cleaned the level sensor and put it back together. still the same problem Sad

any idea's welcome

Put some more oil in Wink

At high speed the oil gets hotter and thinner... If the level is about halfway or below this can cause the light to come on. The level check is a little over-sensitive IMO but better the "false" readings than not getting them when needed

Whatever it is... I didn't do it

Anyone know were the wiring runs to and can it be replaced if faulty. cheers in advance My oil light is not lite at any time could this be the bulb

Feb 2011 at 17:20 i got this engine off a EX member on here and had a lot of problems with it in the early days. ( daz rebuilt half of it so it runs brilliant nowdays so maybe a little paranoid on this was thinking of a blocked oilway return to the sump ?
