- While driving, if I take the foot off the accelerator the red OIL light
- would come up but as soon as I accelerate, it goes away. I checked the
- oil and it was just slightly below "FULL" but was kinda thin. It has only
- been 3K miles after the last oil change. Have used Castrol 10W40.
-
- Anyways, I went ahead and did another oil change(I usually do it every 4K miles)
- and now the light doesn't come up.
-
- Any ideas? Hope there is nothing abnormal. It has 110K miles on it and
- is in a good shape.
-
- Thanks in advance
