[T3] Flickering Oil light

[J. Jonik]

Don't know what  ZDDP means, but....I've been exclusively using 10 W 30 oil since the last century....temperate zone, not tropics or arctic.
 Does the slight leakiness of the sensor affect the oil light flicker?  And...who's got some Non Leaky oil sensors?

Depends on what sender your using, the cheapo senders don't trip the light
till you have NO oil pressure, the German ones will light up at 5PSI.  what
oil are you running?  If its thin oil just get some 10W40 in there, if its
already 10W40 then your engine is worn, if your running the 25W50 racing oil
with the ZDDP and you have a light the engine is shot.

At 133Kmi I don?t have any oil light yet, but Im also using the thicker oil
for the ZDDP.
