Hey,

I need to pick your brains guys and gals....

I keep getting the oil pressure warning light come on at:

1. Start up, now it blinks 10 to 15 times then disappears. I used to get this before when starting up only when my oil was a little low (blink once or twice), so I used to top it back up and never hear of it again.

2. I also get this issue when driving along. Once I hit boost it comes on so I back off.

New oil and filter have just been installed. Oil filter relocation kit has been on the car for ages, so I'm disregarding that for now. No oil leaks at all.

So now I'm thinking it must be the oil pump?? Can it be anything else that anyone can think of?? I did a search but nothing really come up.

Any help will be appreciated.

I usually use a 10w-30 oil

I use the full 5 Litres as well, more than enough

Thanks for that Neil, have to get that sorted now cause it gives me the 5hits...
