There's two of them, one is for low oil pressure, and the other is for low oil. If you check your manual, it'll tell you which light is which.

Is the sound only at idle? Mine made sounds similar to what you described and it ended up being the cam chain tensioner. No one mentioned it yet thought I'd toss it out there.

Scary thought (for the price and amount of labor involved).

yeah...


And do you know what oil light you were getting? Have you checked your oil level? What kind of oil do you use? How long do you go between oil changes?

HOPEFULLY you are not having engine sludge problems! Figure out what light it is and let us know. That will help us be able to help you better.
