I JUST NOTICED THAT MY OIL LIGHT CAME ON LAST NIGHT. FOR A WHILE IT WAS ON THEN IT TURNED OFF THEN IT STAYED ON AND THIS MORNING IT WAS ON ALL THE WAY TO WORK. I CHECK MY OIL AND IT WAS FINE. COULD IT BE A BAD PUMP? OR IS IT SOMETHING ELSE? IT HAS BEEN REALLY COLD HERE IN CHICAGO CLOSE TO FREEZING. I DO KEEP MY CAR IN THE GARGA THOUGH BUT MY GARAGE IS NOT HEATED. ANY INFO WOULD BE APPRECIATED ON WHAT I SHOULD DO.
THANKS ANNA

It is the oild pressure light that is what I was told by my friend. I do have oil in my car and I'm not burning or losing oil. I wonder if it is the cold weather that is causing the light to go on. Today the light was on when I turned on the care and then after about 15 mins or so of driving it went off. I haven't had a chance to take it in yet but I guess if I keep seeing this light I better take it in. I just want to know if it ok to drive my car.
Thanks, Anna
