This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

A few days ago when braking hard I noticed that my oil light went on. It happened again one more time....For the rest of my trip I drove "normally" lol.... and it didn't happen again. Checked my oil level, seems ok. Just wondering what it could be?

POST 2Original post

Either the oil pressure sending unit is failing or you have a low oil pressure condition when the light comes on. Either way, I would start looking into it before driving it again.

POST 3Original post

Sending unit can easily rust out where it is located you might try and clean the contacts and see if it helps rather then just replacing the unit. Here is a good resource https://rennlist.com/forums/996-foru...ement-diy.html
