Nytro oil light on cold starts

[pelon]

Anyone know why the oil light would come on for a few minutes on cold starts?

are you sure its not the oil temp light telling you to let your engine warm up for a few minutes

The yellow light with the oil can? I never noticed before turbo install!

Not to point out the obvious...but did you check the oil level? The only time the light has ever come on for me is when I've actually been low on oil. If you're not low, then I'd look at the sensor itself.

Its ok to point out the obvious---were all dumbassess at some point.
However, yes I have checked it a few times---it reads just right.

Just to note the oil light does eventually go out, but I will check the sensor

thanks

Ya my 09 just did it to me last week. It was in the back of my truck for 2 days then fired it up to take it out of the back of my truck and it was on only for a minute or so. I took it out and in the garage, checked the oil level and it was good. I dont know why it was on but it went away....

Who knows

thanks

Mine has done the same thing a few times, mainly whey on a slight down hill slope. And it had plenty of oil in it too.

I just had a thought...Maybe there is a little water in the plug that is freezing and messing up the connection until the engine heat melts it? Could be worth putting some dielectric grease on it to see if that helps.
