hey guys
my rx8's oil light comes on and goes off. does that mean that its low on oil or the engine is damaged? this happened while i was racing a g35. i was at 60mph and shifted down to 3rd and blew the doors of that g35!!!

does that mean that its low on oil or the engine is damaged? Usually one or the other. If low, damage will soon follow. Was it just the light, or did the pressure go down as well? There was an issue with oil pans on the early RX-8s that the light might come on even if oil level was OK. Check that out before your next trip to the drag strip.
Why would you downshift on a drag strip?

well actually it didnt happen at the drag strip, i didnt even participate we were coming home from the drag strip. there were no cars on the highway so we decided to do a few runs. thats when i saw the oil light come on and go off.

You do know that talking about street racing is against forum rules? It's also stupid, imo

im not saying thats its not wrong and no i dont do it every chance i get. like i said there were almost no car and we only did one run. yes its illegal and yes you could end in big trouble, but whats the point of a living a life if your not willing to take a few risks.

Im a moron and never check my oil level so, my rx8's oil light comes on and goes off. but I don't give a **** and decided that I should just try to street race cuz I'm so fuxking cool. then the oil light thinggy happened again while i was racing a g35 which was driven by my buddy who is also a moron. i was at 60mph and shifted down to 3rd and blew the doors of that g35!!! now I feel proud cuz Im getting close to the 2f2f level.
