G.f's '04 neon base model oil light comes on when we start it. Turn the engine off and back on and it goes away. Dealer recently *past 2 weeks* changed the oil. Cold NY climate. Any idea's?

 

try 5w-30 in it, or 5w-20?

 

I would check level of oil first.

 

level is fine it was just recently dealer changed. i usually do it but with the weather every chance i have to do it its been poor out so i said screw it and took it to the dealer.

 

bump? any ideas anyone?

 

Could simply be a failing sensor. Would advise having it checked out.

 

take it back to the dealer and ask them wtf did they did to the car for the light to come on.

 

If oil level is fine I would assume its the oil sender as well. It will kick the oil light on when the pressure drops too low, so if you the proper amount of oil, the sender is probably bad. I'd get it checked out though.

 

i hope that your oil pump isnt messed up... b/c a low oil pressure could also be causing the light to come on.... i would go back to the dealer and flip out till they fix it for you....for free .... lol
