Oil warning light flashes

[roni1414]

Oil light flashes every time I drive my car . I checked the oil pressure and it's in spec. Does anyone know what it could be ?

[charlieb]

i dont know about the aveo specifically but its usually signs of oil sending unit problem/malfunction/on the way out.your oil pressure is good.so is light flickering like a electrical short or constant in time flashing/blinking.

The spec is 5 psi. I'm thinking about replacing the oil pump

[petrified.rabbit]

i would replace/clean the oil sensor and passage first. if it is gummed up or otherwise broken it will cause this issue.

if you have the 5 psi you need at the head then you do not need an oil pump. It is obviously working.

Roni,
What year is your Aveo? Have you visited your local dealer yet to have the vehicle diagnosed? Let me know if you would like me to make an appointment for you.

To be fair local dealers are seperate privately owned entitles, not GM employees.

[petrified.rabbit]

well, "factory" trained techs, and i was speaking of gm customer service (whom i've only talked to through the dealership).

I know the dealers are private, i've worked at enough of them. Western Pa had hundreds at one time.
