Hi. Oil level was fine this morning. Started it, and all seemed good. Couple miles on a service road, then a secondary highway, now have been back on 20 east for 50 miles with no issues (yet?). The oil light has flickered at low idle for the 12 years and 100000 miles that we have had her.

Mine flickered for a second yesterday on a 6 hour ride on a highway ramp, I hit some bumps real hard not sure if that Jarred the wires. I was pushing it too a bit at 75 for a while gowesty 2.3 motor in an 84. I’m Interested in what people have to say too now. I may be a quart low tho gotta check it today not sure if that has anything to do with it.
