The oil gauge will not climb while I am driving, but when the car is parked it will return to the right position. It has only been doing it it for a month now and is getting old because of the cold weather; it never gets warm enough while driving. Anyone have some information for me before I take it to the dealership?
your car has an oil gauge?
You know, the oil mother ****in pressure. To the left of the speedometer, High....low. oil...change...do I need to slow down anymore for you. What?
Umm, there is no oil gauge in the Aveo. What you are talking about is the water temperature gauge. The Aveo only has a oil light. If you don't drive the car long enough to warm up, then, no, it won't reach running temperature like in the summer.
maybe a pic would helpAttachment 5199 this is mine 07 sedan just dont see my oil pressure gauge :confused:

fill your coolant reservoir with oil, then your oil will read on that gauge. Problem solved.
funny rabbit.so oompcamp it is your coolant temp gauge correct?maybe the thermostat is stuck open or the sensor that reads temp is faulty.when you let the vehicle warm up is the rad and hoses hot to touch?
its winter time, even with a fully functioning coolant system, the gauge will read lower than in summer.
but with the last response i got i'm not helping him. I would be better off explaining thermal dynamics to my 3 yo.
i think she would get it faster than him.
LOL don't take it personal. I mean I get a smart ass response so.. you know how it goes.
And I have had it since 2009 and winters have not affected it. It just started doing this.
I had to get a new air filter. Problem solved for now.
thats interesting, a dirty/clogged air filter was making it run cooler?
Well the guy noticed when I turn my defroster on, it makes a noise as if it's struggling so he put in a new air filter, the noise went away, and it has been reaching the regular position all day.
I am glad that you figured this issue out, and it was only a filter! Keep us updated.
