sporadic oil light
So recently my oil light has been coming on randomly. I'd say it started maybe a month ago. I took it to the dealer for a oil change and decarbon near the end of summer and I know it never started doing this before then. Now I dont drive my 8 that much. I put 5k miles on it since last december. Is it the oil pump or something else? Maybe its going bad? Anyone ever experience this before? I do check the oil regularyly and I am never low and I dont premix. Im thinking the dealer may have messed something up during the decarbon. Oh its on 05 standard with 35k miles btw.

Thanks for the replies. I'll just have the dealer look at it. I thought there might me somthing simple I could do. Im not jumping in the electrical side of things.

To the OP,
This car burns oil as one of its characteristics. I hope you knew that BEFORE buying the RX8. It's not a very friendly motor if maintenance has been neglected.

Maybe some people just dont read. I stated I check the oil regularly and never let it get low so therefore I do add oil when its needed. Ive been a member here for a while now and decently knowledgeable about the 8 despite my low post count. I pretty much just lurk and only post if I have a question.
Thanks Old Rotor. I'll look into the TSB.
