Saab 9-5: oil lamp blinking...
I have a '98 Saab 9-5 2.3 SE, and recently the oil lamp in the dash started
blinking at low rpm.
It blinks only when the engine is warm, and if I stop and switch off and
switch on again it stops blinking for a while.
Needless to say, i checked oil level first (perfect: it was slightly below
MAX), then had the oil level sensor replaced, all without results.
Is it the oil pump? Or is it more likely another malfunctioning sensor (oil
pressure?)?
Any advice kindly appreciated, since I'm perfectly aware that this is the
kind of failure that could make me waste a lot of time and money... :-(
TIA

Indeed. I hope there's not a buildup of oil sludge--what kind of oil do you
use and
how often do you change your oil?
