Someone Help, Oil Light

[SL33K]

i dont know if its normal but my car takes a few seconds to start and when it starts the oil light remains on for about 4seconds. and the engine idles rough for the 4 seconds. sometimes its less than 4 seconds. 2 to 4seconds. after the 2 - 4 seconds the oil pressure gauge goes up and the engine idles properly. the car runs smoothe and works fine until i switch off and switch on again. takes a few secs to switch on, oil light shows for a few secs after engine turns on and idles rough. then back to normal again.....

Some one help?

is this normal?

What weight oil are you using?

Have you changed it recently?

[SL33K]

seems alot of money to do those things?

Most of those things are do it ur self type things bro

[SL33K]

Yeah bro your right but i am a complete Newbie at this stuff. Never done any of it before and coz of the problems with starting the car and stuff i have no option but take the service.

maybe i shouuld take up some kind of classes that teach this stuff.

You dont need classes mate...just read here!

I bought my first skyline 6months ago and new nothing...so i asked lots of embarresing questions and read around this forum ALOT.

Its not as hard as you'd think and there are heaps of tutorials around

And oil change is basically undo this bolt....let drain...replace bolt...add oil here. Its pretty simple stuff

mine occasionally slputters around when i start it on a really cold morning,just give it a small poke of the acelerator and it brings it out of it and idles normally.
