Hi all,
Took the bug out today (about 85 degrees in PA). We were driving at a good clip for about 15 minutes or so and the red oil light came on. Oil pressure was reading about 25 (a bit lower than normal) and the temp was about 200 - 210 (a bit higher than normal). We got home shortly after the light came on and checked the oil level, all ok there. This is my husband's old toy and he said he seems to remember that on hot days like this, this will happen.... hot air plus engine heat thins out the oil, hence the lower than normal PSI reading. It sat for a few hours and we just got back from a short trip to friends with it and no light came on. There aren't any leaks so I'm wondering
- COULD it just be because it's so hot outside?
Thanks in advance for any advice for a novice.
