I have a 91 accord lx. The oil indicator light starts blinking usually as I get off the freeway (go from high to low rpm's). When I shut off the car and turn it on again it stops. Does anyone know what this could mean? Thanks in advance.

 

it usually means low oil, better check it out.

 

I drove it yesterday from CA to Idaho and changed the oil the day before I left (so its full). Could the temp have anything to do with it?

 

have you physically checked the oil level since the drive? or are you just assuming?

 

I checked it and its full

 

oil pump is dying or restricted pickup

bad sending unit

 

worn crankshaft and rod bearings? I'm new to Hondas, I don't know what range RPM the oil pressure gauge is active. My vw only senses from 1500-3500 RPM, turning off at idle

 

before you condemn anything you need to chk oil pressure,,,,,,,,,,remove the oil sending unit,( above oil filter) hook up a pressure gauge and see if it is in specs ,,if within specs i would start by replacing the sending unit ,,,,,,if low then you might have oil pump or ( and ) bearings issues

by the way did this start since the oil change you did a few days ago? did you use a Honda filter ??

 

The same thing is happening to me... (1992 Honda Accord EX) it just started this week. I'll post a video of it on youtube when I have a chance... frustrating as hell since the car runs fine/always has been well maintained and the oil level is correct.

OP did you figure out what was going on/did were able to fix it?
Anyone have any leads w/ this?
