My oil light comes on at idle when hot, like 210+ degrees. I only see it get that hot on 100+ days here in AZ, but it is happening. I was running SAE30 oil and I changed to 20/50. It still happens, so I figure I can bandaid it with an oil cooler or a high pressure bypass kit. Anyone else have experience with this?
BTW, my sender is a new VDO dual head unit extended on a piece of steel braided brake hose, gauge is a 911 unit. Oh and the motor is a basically stock djet 2.0, 73 variety. |
