    Oil Light Flickering

    I am new here....and I am also new to CB7's lol I always owned Civics... anyway, I bought my CB7 about a good two months ago, and I have replaced quite a few things. My issue is now I have an oil light that only flickers every so often, I am only a quart low, and i just replaced my oil pressure sending unit. Could someone PLEASE help me out?

              Next time could you please title your thread properly otherwise it will be deleted.

              Refill your oil to the correct level and recheck it.

                A quart low from what level? From maximum level? or From minimum level?
                Are you in normal operating temp when the light flickers?
                At what RPM does it occur?

                If flickering occurs with oil level above minimum level on dip stick, when hot and when rpm is at idle, I would change oil to higher viscosity oil.

                  Use the dipstick to check. Add a quart. If the level is still a little low, add a little more oil until the level is between the two dots on the dipstick.

                    a higher viscosity would put more stress on the engine if im not mistaken. just use the proper grade

                      this can be the oil pump, if the level of oil is good, this look like you miss some pressure... check carefully for leak

                        Thanks for all the responses....it seems as if the issue has been resolved....my oli level was low, plus Yes, I am due for an oil change...no oil leaks visible at the moment, but...the next question is, what viscosity wouls be good for the F22A6 with over 200k miles?

                            If it's not burning oil, I'd say 10W-30 should do you just fine depending on how the motor has been maintained. @ 200K, you want something with a little thickness.
