I've got an oil alarm that I'm trying to trouble shoot.
Cold start, I quickly get the alarm.
Warm start, no alarm.
I need to leave it running with the alarm for a bit when I get the alarm, but it sounds fine and once warm, I don't get the alarm any more. At idle, when I pull the dipstick, there is some positive pressure and oil is flying around (I know that isn't a proper check, but I don't have a gauge). Voltage is good, so I can rule out obvious electrical. Oil level is good and I just changed the oil and filter.
I'm thinking this might be a switch issue as I've now run it hard three times in this scenario just to see if it would happen again.
Last summer I had an issue with moisture in the oil after too much *****ing. flushed the oil a lot and had my mechanic go over it. Got the ok. Sat for about 4 weeks before this started happening.
Any thoughts?
