my oil light is on but i am not low on oil?
what could be causing this?

 

bad oil sending unit

 

its only like a $12 part and then a $6 socket. the socket is worth it.

 

hell you dont even need a socket for it....just use a big pair of channel locks

 

Oil light could also be on from low oil pressure in your system. But like they said. most the time its a faulty sending unit AKA idiot light.

 

is the socket one of the square ones?
where is the sending unit at

they dont have a photo of it. but its basically a deep well socket, but deeper than most and only has the teeth for like 1/4in maybe.

 

bet you can rent that socket anyways!

 

the sending unit is on the back of the block on the tranny side...opposite corner basically from the crank sensor..

i need to replace my oil sending unit in the next day or 2 because its leaking oil....im loosing about 1 qt a week out of it

 

thats prolly exactly where i am loosing mine from too.
is it safe to drive how it is rite now til i get it
