The oil light refers to oil PRESSURE, not oil level. That said, if the oil pressure is low enough to set the oil light, then you should be hearing rattling noises coming from the engine when it is running. That is not to say that you may not still have a problem. The oil light is nothing to take lightly. If there is an oil pressure problem, engine damage can occur quickly. Check the wiring connection to the oil pressure sending unit. If you suspect that the problem is not really low oil pressure, then change the pressure sensor. It is relatively cheap and the easiest way to verify whether there is a real problem. If the light remains on after the sensor is replaced, have the oil pressure tested with a mechanical gauge to verify that it is low. If it is low, you either have a very worn out engine, or a malfunctioning oil pump system.
check engine oil level sound like oil level very low.if oil level okay problem could be faulty oil pump or oil pump shaft to distributor broken or timing chain has lot of slack causing oil pump not to turn fast enough build up oil pressure or engine bearings worn out.
This light has nothing to do with oil level, it's oil pressure that is low here and turniong on the light, If you do have low oil pressure in the engine you will shortly be needing a new engine, SO HAVE IT CHECKED RIGHT AWAY. It may be a faulty pressure sensor or other problem.
Oil level is probably low. When you turn, your oil splashes to the right or left and your pump is not able to pick up the proper amount of oil to pump. If the level is proper, you might have the wrong grade of oil. Check your owners manual for proper weight for the driving sonditions you are in.
p1259 code is manufacturer control fuel air metering,--its a VTEC malfunction,
Check the oil level in your car. Everytime I've seen this code it is because the oil level is low. VTEC works off of oil pressure and when the oil level is too low there is not enough oil pressure to push the VTEC in. My guess is you're about two quarts of oil low so it should cost you about $4.00 to fix the problem. If the oil level is correct then you'll need to take it to the dealer for diagnosis.
Oil light relates to oil pressure, not oil level. If engine has not been rebuilt, it is safe to assume that it is nearing the end of its life. Low oil pressure light goes off on increased rpm´s , and hence, pressure goes up. You can extend the life a little bit by switching to heavy oils, such as 20W-50, but eventually it also wont be enough, and will start fouling the plugs. Check the oil level, because extremely low levels of oil can also produce a low pressure warning.
Check your oil level, your level could be to low for the oil pump to pick up properly. The other reason could be in need of an oil change or your oil pressure sensor is gone bad. Your oil pressure come's from your crank shaft bearing and not form you oil pump. Good luck and hope this help
