#1: Oil and STOP coming on when car is hot and idle revs Author: almir92, Location: EssexPosted: Tue Mar 15, 2011 10:44 am ---- last 2 weeks my car when hot anywhere between 70 -90c it starts to show the oil and stop light, this only happens when the rev counter is idle and drops to around under 800 rev's it will come on , as soon as the car itself goes over 800 or you rev the car it turns off. i checked the cars oil and there is like 2mm over the max marker, i think its leaking somewhere as i get a small stain under the car every morning -.-, and just recently had oil leaks fixed

#3: Re: Oil and STOP coming on when car is hot and idle revs Author: MrrNoName, Location: UKPosted: Tue Mar 15, 2011 11:41 am ---- people and garages overfilling oil is one of my pet hates. ive lost count of the amount of times ive picked up a car after its service and have had to make them drain some out before i drive off. one time it was over 1.5cm above the max mark.
first step is drain some out, i like it afew mm under the max mark.
you might well find that the light goes off when the pressures reduced a bit

#5: Re: Oil and STOP coming on when car is hot and idle revs Author: Seabook, Posted: Tue Mar 15, 2011 1:36 pm ---- check the oil pressure, before knowing the oil pressure is fine do not use your car.
2mm over the max make is just nothing serious.
when engine is hot and idle, the oil pressure is at it's min. state. running the engine without enough oil pressure is asking for trouble
#6: Re: Oil and STOP coming on when car is hot and idle revs Author: almir92, Location: EssexPosted: Tue Mar 15, 2011 1:51 pm ---- now its 2mm over the max mark lol thats like 2 weeks after it was drained and the mechanic filled it up, back then i think it was like 10mm over the max mark -.- how do you check the oil pressure?
#7: Re: Oil and STOP coming on when car is hot and idle revs Author: almir92, Location: EssexPosted: Tue Mar 15, 2011 5:24 pm ---- how would i go about draining some oil by myself, without all of it coming out ?
#8: Re: Oil and STOP coming on when car is hot and idle revs Author: almir92, Location: EssexPosted: Fri Mar 18, 2011 10:26 am ---- driving it today, and noticed when the car is hot the revs hesitate, il press the acc pedal and after 1 second then the revs jump up -.- car stalled twice today because of this what could be causing this?

Have you checked the oil pressure is correct with a pressue gauge?
Running the engine with low oil pressure = bend over & Vaseline time
Until the oil pressure is known to be correct dont start the engine

that why i said before check the oil pressure lol
any garage could do that easily.
running low oil pressure is just like running the engine without oil.
#13: Re: Oil and STOP coming on when car is hot and idle revs Author: almir92, Location: EssexPosted: Fri Mar 18, 2011 3:23 pm ---- i think it could be the oil filter. but i will get the pressure checked
