Can I drive when the restricted performance light come on jag2012 fx

Your light is on because the pressure has not come up enough to turn it on. Is it cold where you live? Do you know the weight of the oil in our engine? I don't know what the manufacturer recommends for your car for the weather you are experiencing. Do not say where you are.

Typical cold weather oil is 5 - 20, not to say this is what Isuzu recommends for your car ar your location. All oil is thicker and harder to move when the temp is low. If you have heavy oil to start with ... it is all the more difficult to get it going. The next time you get your oil changed, mane sure you find out what kind of oil is being used and mention your concern about your low oil warning light.

I hope I have answered your question.

battery cable? my 2005 kia didthis. usually happens in cold weather. battery cables are cheap try replacing them.

with it being colder weather unless you live in Equador where it's hot all year round, the oil thickens thus you have good oil pressure, nothing wrong with good oil pressure only if you have no oil pressure. a car with 5w30 in 20*f weather that only gets 35psi in the summer now gets 55 psi in the cold..... now if you have a wrong oil filter that would put it in bypass mode thus giving you 60psi or higher ( i had this happen to me in a used truck ) if the engine isn't knocking i wouldn't worry about it much, a car in cold weather performs better than a car in the hot.

Hello,

Visco 2000 or mobil oil, use the dipstick to check do not let it be too full.

The type specified by the vehicle manufacturer in your owner's manual. For most passenger car and light truck gasoline engines today, it's any oil that meets the American Petroleum Institutes "SH" rating.
As for the viscosity of oil to use, most new engines today require a multiviscosity 5W-30 oil for all-round driving. The lighter 5W-30 oils contain friction reducing additives that help improve fuel economy, and also allow the oil to quickly reach critical upper valvetrain components when a cold engine is first started. Most engine wear occurs immediately after a cold start, so it's important to have oil that is thin enough to circulate easily -- especially at cold temperatures.
For older engines and ones that are driven at sustained highways speeds during hot weather, 10W-30 or 10W-40 is a good choice. Heavier multiviscosity oils such as 20W-40 are for high rpm, high-load applications primarily and are not recommended for cold weather driving.
Straight weight 30W and 40W oils aren't very popular anymore, but some diehards insist on using them. They say the thicker oil holds up better under high temperature (which it does), increases oil pressure and reduces oil consumption in high mileage engines. But straight 30W and 40W oils are too thick for cold weather and may make an engine hard to start. They may also be too thick to provide adequate start-up lubrication to critical upper valvetrain components during cold weather. So switching to a straight 20W oil would be necessary for cold weather driving. Straight 10W oil can also improve cold starting, but is very thin and should only be used in sub-zero climates. A multiviscosity 10W-30 or 10W-40 will provide the same cold starting benefits of a 10W oil and the high temperature protection of a 30W or 40W oil.
For the ultimate in high temperature protection, durability and all-round performance, synthetic oils are the way to go. Unfortunately, most synthetic oils cost up to three times as much as ordinary petroleum-based oils. They cost more because synthetics are manmade rather than refined from petroleum. But this improves their performance in virtually every aspect:

• Superior temperature resistance. Synthetics can safely handle higher operating temperatures without oxidizing (burning) or breaking down. The upper limit for most mineral based oils is about 250 to 300 degrees F. Synthetics can take up to 450 degrees F. or higher. This makes synthetics well-suited for turbo applications as well as high rpm and high output engine applications.
• Better low temperature performance. Synthetics flow freely at subzero temperatures, pouring easily at -40 or -50 degrees F. where ordinary oils turn to molasses. This makes for easier cold starts and provides faster upper valvetrain lubrication during the first critical moments when most engine wear occurs.
• Better engine performance. Synthetics tend to be more slippery than their petroleum-based counterparts, which improves fuel economy, cuts frictional horsepower losses and helps the engine run cooler. The difference isn't great, but it can make a noticeable difference.
• Longer oil change intervals. Because synthetics resist oxidation and viscosity breakdown better than ordinary motor oils, some suppliers say oil change intervals can be safely extended -- in some cases stretched to as much as 25,000 miles. Such claims are justified by the fact that synthetics don't break down or sludge up as fast as ordinary mineral-based oils do in use. CAUTION: For vehicles under warranty, extending the normal change interval is not recommended because failing to follow the OEM's maintenance schedule can void your warranty.
  Synthetics are available in the same grades as ordinary motor oils (5W-30, 5W-20 and 10W-30) as well as "extended" grades such as 15W-50 and even 5W-50.
  There are also lower-cost synthetic "blends" that combine synthetic and petroleum-based oils in the same container. But you can do your own blend to save money by simply substituting a quart or two of synthetic oil for conventional oil when you change oil. Synthetics are compatible with conventional motor oils.
  Who should use a synthetic oil? The premium-priced oil is best for:
  
  • Turbocharged or supercharged engines
  • Performance or high output engines
  • Vehicles used for towing (especially during hot weather)
  • Vehicles that are operated in extremely cold or hot climates
  • Anyone who wants the ultimate in lubrication and protection
  • 
    

Take care and good luck

Hi, no it wont make any difference the 5 relates to it working in cold weather but unless you have got freezing temperatures or below freezing then you will be just fine, remember not to mix oils so if it needs topping up you need to top it up with the same oil as mixing can cause it to gel up a bit and can cause problems.

having this oil in your car wont cause any harm at all and you will be just fine.

let me know if you need further assistance ok
plz rate this solution as i have a whole page of unrated posts, thanks

i have problem jaguar x type 2004 when many time motor is start the ligth amber turn on and massege engine fault problem.next the engine do not acceleration

Anything can cause the check engine light to go on from a loose gas cap, to a transmission issue. When the onboard computer detects an issue, it will restrict performance so as to not damage the engine any further. An Oil change won't affect this light. The only way to determine the cause of the light is to have the computer scanned with an OBD-II tool (Autozone does this for free) to determine the codes and cause for the light. You can also clear the light with the OBD-II tool, but if the problem is still there, the light will just come back on

You either need to charge the battery, or you've got a bad battery. It's easy to power lights and radios, but turning an engine over, especially in cold weather, takes a lot of cold cranking amps (in other words, a fully charged and good battery.).

If oil is Clean and there is no White Smoke that Disapates Fast, Check for Transmission Cooler (IN RADIATER) Problem

you may have a intake gasket leak
