I was about 500 ft from home yesterday when the warning tone and the oil symbol appeared in the instrument panel and oil appeared on the speedo. it then went out when I got home I checked the oil ant it was full ( I added a quart last week).
Any one have idea what might be going on?

 

None, not any because you posted in the generic forum section and did not provide Year, Model or Miles.

 

It is a 2008, 195,000 miles, is a H3

 

I’m 06 with same miles lol the oil dinging light it’s nightmare took me 4 months and 2000 get it fixed finally 🤣

 

Could be simple, like a bad pressure sending unit or a failing oil filter. Could be nasty internal damage or blockage. I would start with the east stuff. When was the last time the oil & filter were changed and what oil and filter are you currently using?

 

I had the oil changed in early April just before a 1600 mile round trip to NJ. I do not know what brand but weight is 5w-30.
Millertime045 what was the reason and how did you solve it?

 

i did everything motor flush, switch to ac delco oil filter,use Mobil recommend oil, changed 3 different oil sending units, had oil compression test done like 5 times threw out 2 different shops , and finally I think had oil sending unit switch plus pig tail changed mine they said ended up after alllll that being low oil pressure & oil pump and pickup tubs replaced 1600 in that alone I’m at 1700 miles since it snd knock on wood it’s not digging anymore me if I was you start with oil compression test but I’m not gonna lie was nightmare and major headache finding out issue

 

Thanks for the info, I have something to look forward to

 

Oil Pump Pickup Tube O-Ring $14.30 and most of the day getting to it to R&R. It pays to wrench on these thing yourself.

 

Is there a you tube video on the replacement? How hard is it to get at.
I was going to replace the valve cover gasket until I watched what was involved on you tube
