MY oil light just came on in my honda, and im curious to know why. I do know that the oil plug is stripped and can be hand turned... Which i plan on fixing, but would this cause the light to come on?? or would the oil pressure switch be bad?? any info helps.

 

ttt

 

any one??

 

low oil level? just pull out the dipstick and check it bro. if its fine, replace the pressure sensor. i highly doubt its bad though

 

The factory honda oil pressure sensor for a bseries/dseries/hseries comes on when oil pressure is below 5 psi (nothing). If your light is on, get an oil pressure gauge on the car asap.

 

^and dont put a brass extension on it either!!!! LOL *inside joke for my buddy john

 

I just got done with my therapist about that day & you brought it back up

Note to customers:
NEVER use a brass fitting in your block, NEVER mount an oil sending unit directly to your block!

 

Hooked up a oil pressure gauge to the motor, no pressure at all... And i had already drained the oil filled it back up, still no pressure, dont worry, i havn't drove it at all with no pressure... any ideas on what i should check.. do ya think the oil pump screen is clogged up??

 

Your oil pump is probably done. Time to take apart everything.
I wouldn't doubt if your bearings are damaged also etc.

Cheaper route might be to look for another used sohc (if you had a sohc originally).

 

^yeah if you got no pressure now it prolly didnt happen immediatly it was prolly low for a while just not low enough to put the light on. just get a new long block. theyre cheap, if its a sohc
