Couple days later I'm driving home at 60mph and the oil pressure light comes on and stays on for a few seconds. I pull over and haven't driven it since. In the driveway it will idle and no oil pressure light comes on.

Going to pull the actual oil pressure once I get to harbor freight, but in the mean time I can't find many threads related to oil pressure issues on the LR3. Anyone have any experience or insight with this problem? Thanks!
Hi MaineLR3!

Did you ever find out the issue? I have a 2008 Range Rover Sport and have the exact same thing you're describing, even with the washer fluid.

I am going to begin this evening with an oil pressure gage and see if that indicates and actual drop in pressure. I just thought it was weird that within a few days both the oil pressure light was intermittent and the washer fluid level says low even though it is topped up.

I also checked my battery and it is something like 12.3v when off and 14.something when the car is running.

Thanks agin!

@shmiffie yeah it was just the instrument cluster. I sent it out to get repaired/rebuilt by someone on eBay. I think it was $350 or so. Oil pressure light has been off since!

Just curious. Did you measure your pressure at idle?

No, loss of oil pressure just didn't make sense coupled with the washer fluid light. Two years later it's still running like a top!

Thanks for getting back to me on this! I really appreciate it.

I'll see if I can find a similar service because I have the oil light off and on randomly, washer fluid randomly saying it is low and TPMS light (which I know could be a bad sensor).
