help me! oil light. on the road, 5 hours from home
My oil light came on while driving home today. I'm 5 hours from home.
checked the level, she's full. After starting back up, 5 more miles and it happened again/
I'm using wireless internet at a closed toyota dealership right now. I have no clue what to do. Its sunday and everything is closed
I'm off route 40 in hagerstown, md
she's running fine

He's as bad as Can
Is your vin number between 2004 RX8 - VINS: JM1FE17* *40000000 to 40111043 ?
Early 2004 had an issue with the oil pan that would show a false low oil reading.

Yes. She was about a 3/4 or 4/5 full. Filled it up completely. My buddy thinks its a minor electrical problem. The gauge is fine, just the light. I'm gonna drive home with the music off and listen to the engine the whole time. Hopefully I make it.

See if your car is in this vin range on this "TSB". If it is you might be OK. When you start your car dose the oil gage needle move to the right of the center like normal?

Just got home. She ran great. No oil light or anything. I'll get the tsb's checked on my next oil change.
Purred like a kitten, even when redlining 3rd gear (I got a 4 speed)
