Oil Light

[QUIKBLADE]

Like the subject.... The oil light comes on at idle occasionally... it is happening more and more often, the level seems to be ok... when I move, it's not on and doesn't pop up, only at idle... give it a rev and it's gone.... to me it's strange... any ideas, what it may be?

For some reason my tiny battery running a sub/ entire car might have something to do with it... not 100% but it may be an idea?

Thanks...

P.S. Should mention, I'm running bigger fuel pump/injectors/engine capacity/turbo all the bits and pieces, and unsure, if the oil pump has been upgraded...

It could simply be a defective sender unit, which is not uncommon with RB engines, although usually it's the pressure gauge and not the light that's affected (if you have a separate gauge). If your concerned I'd suggest having the oil pressure checked using a known good or calibrated mechanical gauge. A reputable mechanic should be able to do a check fairly cheaply.
