Hey! Just new to the forum and I'm having no luck with the search/advanced search feature !
My problem is the oil light comes on at low rpm when warm on my 1992 corolla 145,000 km.
I changed the oil and filter... still the same no unusual noises or running hot are the oil sending units a typical problem or am I into a engine wear or pump problem.
Thanks

Sounds like a oil pump problem, but im not too sure...

I might consider using a gauge too check because that sounds fishy, generally at least from my expirience you would have to have a pretty loose and noisy engine to have the oil light come on, you sure you have the right oil in there?

Proved to be the oil sending unit ,had the dealer do a pressure test...tested ok then relpaced the sending unit ...no more light coming on $91.00 test,part,labour...I'm happy.
