asesso Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Probably a very dumb question but I noticed my oil indicator light on and I wanted to check the oil level of my lotus when it arrived. It is a 1986 esprit turbo USA model. Where is the dip stick??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andydclements Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 The oil indicator light coming on is not a good sign, it doesn't take much oil pressure to put that out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asesso Posted July 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 The oil pressure gauge shows normal pressures Art Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andydclements Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 The oil light is just a low pressure warning so something is not right if the light comes on but the gauge shows normal, either light on when it shouldn't be or gauge reading high.

asesso Posted July 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 The gauge seems to respond accordingly to engine revs so I suspect a problem with the light Art Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
