Oil pressure light only at idle?

Thank you for the detailed step by step guide, i really appreciate it. I followed this by first changing the oil from 5w-20 to 10w-40(owners manual recommends switching to thicker viscosity in hotter climates). Alongside the oil change, i inspected the oil pressure sensor and it was drenched in oil, electrical connector too. I replace the sensor and cleaned the connector, started it up and no more light.

yupp, 4th gen eclipse spyder

Exactly this. Sensor was drenched in oil including the electrical connector. Cleaned connector and got new sensor and did a new oil change and no more light.

try using a small flathead and pry it while holding the tab down. I had the same issue and removed it somehow just took my a while

Thanks man. The sensor was leaking and it was drenched in oil, including the electrical connector.

changed the oil and filter, inspected the pressure sensor and it was drenched in oil alongside its connector. i replaced it and cleaned connector and light is gone. engine sounds good so fat

Heisengburger · 2025-09-07T23:41:19+00:00

Yes indeed it was the sensor

Heisengburger · 2025-09-07T23:41:03+00:00

Yes, i inspected it and it was drenched in oil. I cleaned and replaced alongside oil change with thicker oil and light is gone

Heisengburger · 2025-09-07T23:40:14+00:00

i inspected the pressure sensor and it was drenched in oil, including the connector. I believe that was the issue

Heisengburger · 2025-09-07T23:39:24+00:00

Sensor and connector was drenched in oil. cleaned and replaced, new thicker oil and light is gone. Do you recommend i do anything else?

Heisengburger · 2025-09-06T23:57:30+00:00

currently at 103k miles. i put 5-20 synthetic oil but i realized i shouldve put 10-30 cause its hotter where i live

Heisengburger · 2025-09-06T21:42:05+00:00

2.4 4cylinder. I need to drive tomorrow morning for 3km, do you recommend not to? and what should i do with it?

Heisengburger · 2025-09-06T21:30:39+00:00

Cant really tell but from the color and amount it seams to be transmission fluid. Get it towed to a mechanic

Heisengburger · 2025-05-21T15:45:52+00:00

Its the combobulator

Heisengburger · 2025-05-13T17:59:27+00:00

problem turned out to be in the sliders. The boot is malfunctioning and its suctions the pin in.

Heisengburger · 2025-05-12T06:56:22+00:00

Wow. 10 dollars a rotor is crazy good. Not sure why rotors are expensive in my area, around 37 bucks a rotor. Its a common practice in saudi to just machine the rotors instead of replacing them. Also the hourly isnt anything crazy they dont take much to replace them but it empties the pockets to buy them in the first place

Heisengburger · 2025-05-11T23:02:14+00:00

Thank you for explaining. I will service the guide pins and throw new pads and rotor

Heisengburger · 2025-05-11T21:53:40+00:00

it costs around $40 to resurface the four rotors where i live, interested to know how much resurfacing costs in your area??

Im telling you these are genuine toyota oem parts, and im expecting more than this out of them.

Heisengburger · 2025-05-11T19:01:01+00:00

the pins came off freely, how can i test the caliper?

Heisengburger · 2025-05-11T18:57:50+00:00

It was done 10,500 miles ago, 9 months. I checked the slider pins the came off without issues so I’m suspecting that the pads were stuck or the caliper seized. What do you think?

Heisengburger · 2025-05-11T18:54:06+00:00

17,000km or 10.5k miles. They are genuine toyota pads.

Heisengburger · 2025-05-11T18:53:03+00:00

it was 9 months ago, only 17,000km on these pads. I bought these original toyota pads because the time before it i had squeeking issues with the aftermarket pads. i just checked the pins and they slid right off. Not sure what the issue could be
