JoshTimmins Posted April 1, 2010 Posted April 1, 2010 Hey guysim back with the old oil light problem. Oil light comes on after the engine gets hot, only when its idling though. Revving the engine turns it off.Oil level is fine. No obvious leaks.The only thing i can think of is that i should put a different oil in, one to withstand the heat better, as its only when the engine has been running for a while(20mins ride) and the oil could have thinned?Im using 10w40 i believe Any help mucho appreciato!Josh Quote
