Low oil light

[lt1maro]

Some times when i start my car, the low oil light comes on. I checked the dipstick (haha funny word ) with the car runnin and it reads at the normal operating level. Also if i turn the car on and turn it of for a second then turn it back on, the light will go out. The car doent drive any differently it just get annoying and i wanna know what it could be. I will probably just cahange out the oil this week and see what that does. If you guys got any clue throw em at me.

LT1, im not sure if this will help. My mother has a new Pontiac Grand Am (roughly 96 - 98, i dunno) well her check oil light comes on as well, we found out that there is a code on the computer that keeps comming on, no matter how many times you change the oil or what not it still came on. and of course our local Pep Boys could erase it, funny thing was you couldnt just disconnect the battery to erase it, because we tried that lol. hope this helped if at all.

The low oil level sensor may be fouled. When you do your next oil change, remove and clean the sensor with all the electrical connections and see if that works. If not, time for a new sensor.
