Low Oil Level Warning on Intermittently

[Panzer4]

Hi guys,

I have a 2000GTP with about 80000 miles on it, a 3,4" pulley (installing 180t-stat in 2 days) and a tuned PCM (thanks UR LOSN), I noticed that I get the Low Oil Level warning when I start my car for the first time in a day or after a few hours parked. If I immediately restart my car, the light goes away, as it does when I haven't left it parked for too long. I'm wondering if its just a bad sensor or the symptom of a larger problem?

Any ideas gentlemen?

Cheers!

check your oil before you start the car, check it cold. Same thing happened to me, I checked it after the car was on for a bit and it was never low. Go and do it when its cold and it was low so added more and the light hasn't come on sense.

If you add too much it isn't a good thing just to make the light go off.

when you replace it you caould replace with Oil pressure Gauge like I did then you get real reading all the time
