Hi All,
Could you help identify this problem? I have an '97 Honda Prelude SH with 167K miles. The oil light comes on in the afternoon when I drive for a while with the A/C on. I drive for 30 min. on the freeway with the A/C on then when I slow down to under 10mph or stop the oil light begins to flicker and then blinks continuously. The rpm goes really low but the engine doesn't shut off. It's hot in Houston. I turn off the A/C and the oil light still flickers. I don't have this issue in the mornings or at night. Does the heat have to deal with it?
I check my oil level and use Catrol Syntec Blend 10w30 and the levels are normal. Is it the alternator? I don't think so, b/c my electrical system seems normal. WHat do I need to change or replace?
ANy ideas?
Cheers
