The low oil sensor is really sensitive on my 96. Even full of oil if I park with the nose down hill, the light comes on. I have just learned to live with it.

id actually pay attention to that kinda stuff guys. i mean i know mine freaks out sometimes when i park on an angle, etc. but it was right before my headswap that my car was chugging the oil down hardcore when i started to realize there might be a problem. (ended up being valve stem seals) which is actually a common problem on 96's to have the valve seals fail. if its constantly coming on - check your oil level, first. then if everythings fine - look into replacing the sensor - im sure its not hard. also call a dealership with your vin # and verify that your car has had all the necessary recalls done. i know there was a dipstick issue with our cars reading wrong that they fixed with a new dipstick.

I never knew about that. Your car looks very nice in your sig pic btw. Is it Silver or Opal frost?

tfofkyle · September 15th, 2010, 08:02 PM

thanks. opal frost

the previous owner had just had the dipstick recall done, and a sticker was placed in my owners manual correcting everything. (they now recommend 6 quarts 5w20 instead of 5 i believe) plus i had a parking brake recall that was also fixed.
