sounds like a blown head gasket or a head gasket gettin ready to blow which is common on older cars with excessive mileage on them. If that's the case once the gasket fully breaks the car will more than likley shut down on you. It's a big job to replace them because the the whole top end of the engine has to be removed. And if you can't fix it yourself and have to take it to a mechanic the cost will probably be more than the cars worth.

Oil light comes on at stops after engine is warm

if your saying that your low oil pressure light is coming on (or flickering) at engine idle , but goes out when engine is above idle (going along) this is sure sign you have a problem in your engines oil pressure system :
serious !~


some common reasons for this to occur are:

worn out engine parts allowing oil to leak out and not lube parts properly (hi engine miles)

low oil level -not enough oil inside engine to get pumped around proper


restriction in oil system - blockage in oil passageways even oil filter will count (hi miles)

Is that a low oil pressure light or a silly Check Engine light? Check the engine oil level and the automatic transmission fluid level. If those are ok, it could be a bad filter or the wrong oil, possibly a bad sending unit.
BTW, there's no need to let that engine idle up to temperature even in cold weather. A minute is quite sufficient as long as you have oil pressure. Otherwise you're wasting fuel and creating more pollution since the engine efficiency is lowest at idle.

Check oil light comes on at a stop and while idling

this is a light that indicates low oil pressure or low level, 1st check the oil level in the engine when it is hot, if that is ok you will need to have the oil oil pressure tested with a specail mechanical test gauge, don't wait on this, low engine oil pressure or level can quickly lead to engine failure, have a shop check this ASAP if level is ok and light still comes on.

Knocking when engine gets hot and car stopped

Sounds af if you may have a transmission issue. I would take it to dealer to have it checked. Noises can be hard to track down even if you are standing next to a vehicle unless you have proper training in vehicle drivability

Oil pressure light stays on

It will take a while for the oil to circulate throughout the engine at that cold of a temperature. You may want to get an oil change done and make sure you have the proper oil for the temperatures. What happends is that the oil gets thicker and has a harder time circulating through the engine. BE VERY CAREFUL leaving the car run with the oil light on. You can blow the engine very quickly as I learned the hard way. Good luck to you and thanks for using FixYa!

Sincerely,

JC
