oil light and change
I have a 2000 NB and was wondering when low on oil will an oil light come on? Today when starting up my car, I noticed along with the other lights the oil light flash on then go off. I don't know if this has always been the case. I am due for an oil change soon.
Does this happen to anyone else? Osp

Did you check your oil level afterwards?

At a minimum you should check your oil level every third fill up. I check mine every other fill up.

Are you sure this isn't just the normal start-up procedure on the dash? Virtually every car I've ever driven shows all the warning lights momentarily when you first start the car...
