2001 impala low oil level light comes on when starting the car
2001 impala low oil level light comes on when starting the car in the mornings. For about 2 mins the light stays on then goes away until car is cold again. Engine Oil iS at good level but lil dark. the change oil light is on also. Could it be the dirty oil? is it the oil pump or the oil sensor on the pan?
ANSWER:
If you oil light is coming on and only for a few minutes then the first thing I would do is change the oil and run a little thicker oil through. When you have dirty oil it is broke and almost like water. Once you change your oil, reset your light and if you need instructions on this let me know. I do not believe it is the oil pump. It will work or not work. The switch is the same way. I would lean toward a oil change and then let me know what you find and we can go from there.
