Thermostat NOW Oil Light

2009 MCS - 85,000km

Just installed new thermostat. Everything went fine. Flush, burped. Installed new coolant AND Oil pressure sensors while I was there.

Was driving the next day and once I got to operating temperature my OIL light kept came on - and off - and on - and off. Seemed to be everytime I was at a low RPM it came on......

I've checked oil, all connection, everything seems to be fine.

This cant be a coincidence - Just wondering where to start.

Anyone have this problem

Someone here had the same thing and it was a mix up with plugs. The temp sensor and oil pressure sensor have same plugs! Take another look at them.

That's my guess, you flipped the plugs, check out this thread step by step.
