drove van today , 1st time for a week, oil light stayed on, had van fully serviced 2 weeks ago, checked oil all ok, oil light went out after about 5 mikes on way back to garage who serviced it, any ideas why oil light took so long to go out, should i have drive it at all with light on
No you shouldn't drive it with the oil light on.! Although it could just be a duff pressure sensor, which might explain the light going off later. I've fitted an oil pressure gauge to my van just in case and so I can see what's actually going on in my engine.
Best to get it checked properly before you have an electrical failure....as in.... one of the con-rods gets out and beats the alternator to death..!
