Hmmm oil light flicker on 94 tercel..
Thinking of buying my uncle's 94 Tercel DX.. its a automatic with 145k miles..the oil changed every 3k... the oil light recently showed for a second couple mos ago.. My uncle said that the oil container light flickered on for a second or 2 at oil change time but after the oil was changed, the light never came back on.. He said the oil light comes on around 3k miles but it never did that before.. He said there's no ticking or knocking from the motor at all. My 91 MR2 did the same oil light flicker thing a couple times and then the motor slightly started ticking and then after a month it threw a rod and needed a new motor.. this was at 208k miles.
Should I go ahead and buy the car cause I'm getting it at a good price or should I stay away cause the oil pump may be failing and the motor is about to go/? Anyone else have this problem with their Tercel? And the car doesnt leak any oil. Thanks!
