I’ve got a concern about the red oil light. I live up in the mountains and regularly drive into the city, which is a few thousand feet below. When I drive back up and pull into my driveway, the red oil light turns on. My driveway is a bit steep, but not much more steep, if at all, than other parts of the drive. I’ve got plenty of oil and it’s looking fine. The car feels good and warm and I can smell the engine’s heat a bit when I’ve parked, stepped out of the vehicle and walked in front of it.
I’m worried about this and don’t know what to do. There aren’t any engine fault codes other than P0441, which is probably a separate issue regarding EVAP - I ordered a purge valve to replace the existing one to try to eliminate that issue (I need to run a smog check soon).
Any ideas about the red oil light? As soon as I’ve seen it come on, I’ve been able to turn off the vehicle. I haven’t seen it turn on during normal driving anywhere else.
Hoping this isn’t the big one
