So the wife just calls me, tells me the oil light in our 97 came on for a split second when she turned a corner. I tell her to stop by the local mechanic (since she was in town) and have him check the fluids for her. Everything is clean and full.
So...what the hell caused that light to come on? I have also noticed that my oil pressure drops to about 1/4 on the guage when I come to a stop, but climbs back up to about 3/4 on the guage when I am in motion. Is that normal? Am I having an oiling problem? I don't drive the 97 much, I usually drive the 60, so I am not sure if it's always done this with the pressure or not...I haven't noticed.
Thoughts on this? The oil light concerns me.
Thanks
Scott
