Low Oil Pressure
My 1995 eldorado sometimes says low oil pressure when i come to a stop, my brother works at a shop and has looked at it and cant find a reason for it saying it, can anyone tell me why my car does this(it only happens once in awhile and typicailly happens when im stopped)

The normals low oil level, bad sender, worn bearings. Other possibles balancer bolt not torqued to spec.(no key way for oil pump, depends on bolt forcing balancer against oil pump gear and primary timing gear on crank) pump pressure relief valve getting hung open by foreign material. Check with mechanical gauge.

RE: Low Oil Pressure
Does the light come on while you are stopping or when you have stopped and the engine is idling?
For 1. Low oil level, oil moves away from pickup in sump.
For 2. Idle speed is too slow to pump oil at normal pressure.

RE: Low Oil Pressure
Excellent point on cheap white box and no name parts. Same goes for oil used. Some of these $19.99 oil changes are using oil that is thinner than cooking oil. Name brands only way to go with oil and filter.
