Oil light

[The_Big_Weave]

Just changed the intake to a 2g maf and now my car idles a little lower like 800 to 1000 used to idle about 1300 (I know a little high but with cams I had to). Now when the Idle drops below 750 my oil light flashes. I just changed the oil with 5-W30. I was wondering if I went to 10-W40 if the light would go away or what the problem could be.

What are you using to compensate for the 2gmaf? I have a 2gmaf but I had to have a chip burnt to compensate for it. Do you have a safc?

The thicker the oil will allow for higher pressure BUT....

If the motor is having oiling issues, it will not get better.

Quoting slobra:

yeah I have it tuned fine. SAFC and a wide band. 14.7 on the wide band at idle.

My timing belt is really tight I am thinking that this may be part if the problem

Put a gauge on it and verify ACTUAL pressure. Could just be your oil light switch wearing out. Diaphragm will do that eventually.
