But if it had that Oil Pressure ( 60% ) the Light would not come of right.

He is doing another Oil pressure check right now so I think Ill have the numbers later on Today.

Instead of talking about how hot or cold it gets how about doing something to correct the problem.
Do an engine flush, using 6 quarts of ATF instead of engine oil, to clean out the engine, let it idle for 30 minutes, don't drive it, then do a normal oil change.
If it continues then you need to let me know so I can describe how to do a proper oil pressure test to confirm what is going on.

When you get the oil PSI tested we need actual numbers NOT %'s.
So we need to see something like 20psi at hot idle, 60psi at hot 2000 rpm kinda thing, not "well its 45% of what its supposed to be"

That is called enginne sludge, thats what happens when you dont change your oil when you are supposed to.
Also happens when you use the wrong oil for the application.

Mike .. Just got my truck back today. Shop told me that after doing the cmpression test PSI were NORMAL and I got the Oil Light back about 25 Minutes after diriving it.

Thats IT .. I´m selling it Ive Had enough. I jusgt dont want to spend a lot of good money on a bad car. bit dont want the next guy to feel ripped Of.

Oil Light goes off inmediately after I touch the accel. Or even if I turn the AC on it goes away even if I´m not accelerating.. It also smells Like Oil when I come to a stop and roll down the window..

Man I´m so Tired of trouble...

...
A compression test is different from a oil presure test.
A compressen test will tell you if the cylinders are good or bad.
A oil pressure test will tell you if the oil pump is good or bad.
They did the wrong test!!!!!!!!!!

And no, if you continue to drive it with low oil pressure then you will seize up the engine and then you will have a big boat anchor sitting in your driveway.
