Your oil light comes on when the OIL PRESSURE is too
low ( your engine oil LEVEL may be O.K. )
That means that your alternator is bad and the oil light can indicate something about you oil level or oil pressure
When the low oil level light comes on, it means that the car has a low level of oil. This means a person needs to add oil to their car.
If the oil level is fine, your oil level sensor or the sensor wiring is malfunctioning. Same for the ABS system. Check ABS fuses.
Low oil or a faulty oil level senser
If the oil light comes on but the oil level is ok, the problem may be a faulty sending unit, as it turned out in my case.
check your oil level. when the engine is not reved up ( at a light ) the oil in your pan settles which if level is low enough will turn your check oil light on
Check the oil level and that plug and filter are installed correctly...you may have to add more oil.
There really isn't a set answer for this.. the oil light comes on when there's inadequate oil pressure in the system. A cold engine will have higher oil pressure until it warms up and the oil gets thinner as it heats.
Checking you oil level would be the first thing. It is probably low.
The oil pressure light comes on if the car is out of oil, or the oil pressure sending unit is malfunctioning. Check oil level, if oil is up to fill level then your oil pump is bad. DO NOT DRIVE the car. Have it towed to a Jaguar dealership or other reputable garage.
If the oil light comes on you are more than 1 quart low of oil. When the light comes on STOP immediately and do not start the engine until you have checked the oil level and made sure it is above the add mark. Do not overfill.
