[V8] Oil Can Light

[Brice Warnick]

I am new to common problems with the V8.
I got a 1990 pearl some months back with 120,000 and in excellent shape.
The oil can light on the dash comes on intermittingly. There is plenty of oil as I changed it myself and no leaks and the oil pressure gauge seems to work fine which would seem to rule out the oil pressure switch.
Is it a fault in the cluster?
I have heard that this is a common problem.
My main car for the last 10 years has been my pearl 200TQ20V which has only 126,000.
In the last 6 months I have also acquired a black on black 95 S6 with 122,000 which I am still learning about but is closely akin to my 200. The V8 is almost totally foreign to me.
