Oil Alarm Light "On" at Idle ('78 244)

posted by  someone claiming to be jerry Gambs on  Mon Nov 5 12:24 CST 2001 [RELATED]

After changing the oil and filter a few weeks ago, I'm getting the Oil Alarm Light "On" at Idle ('78 244 127000). Oil level is at spec on the dipstick. I used 10W40 and am in the Philly area (Temps in the 50s-60sF now). Engine produces no scary sounds at any time. Is this a bogey alarm or is something bad going to happen?

You really need to put a pressure gauge on the car to see what is going on. You may have a worn oil pump or ???.
