Hi everyone, I'm on vacation down in the Shenandoah forest here in Virginia, on the way up to the skyline drive, the car was going uphill for at least 1 mile, then I had to wait in line while on an incline. Soon after getting through the ranger station/ toll booth, the Low Oil Pressure light came on and a 3 alarm notification also sounded, then immediately went off and stayed off. I pulled right over and checked out ***. Anyway, there is the correct amount of oil in the car, so I eliminated low or no oil as a cause. In the manual it tells me to stop and have it serviced. I am in the middle of nowhere, so I restarted the car, and everything seems fine. So I left, and the car ran great for the rest of the day.
If the oil pressure was indeed low, wouldn't the big red light stay on and blinking just like other lights such as the check engine and tire pressure lights?
Also I read that the light came on above 1500 rpms for other people, why for me, it came one while almost idling.
I have 185K on the clock, and I'm wondering if I should drive it home and change something, or take it in to a shop somewhere around deliverance land and hope Darrel can fix it with his other brother Darrel.
Anyone had this happen to them?
