Re: Why do my oil light keep coming on when I stop
Oil level is likely low and when braking falls below its needed level causing light to come on . Check oil dipstick with engine cool or at least 15 minutes after shutting engine off .

Why does my oil pressure light came on when I stop?
Low pressure means there either isn't enough oil in the system or the oil pump isn't circulating enough oil to keep the critical bearing and friction surfaces lubricated. If the light comes on while at speed, do your best to pull off the road quickly, turn the engine off, and investigate the problem to avoid damage.
Hi,
That means LOW PRESSURE , not low in volume. Pressure is measured in PSI. The reason that your light comes on when you are at a stop is because your engine goes to idle at a stop and would normally have lower pressure. That doesn't mean you should get a low pressure light though.. I would have it checked by a pro right away as this could be your first warning before a serious problem.
