I have a Honda Civic 2013. I recently had the oil & filter change. Everything was fine for a week until recently the car has started giving irregular "check engine oil" lights. The light comes on just for a second or two when I am driving and goes off immediately. My maintenance panel tells me the engine oil is at 90%. So I am not really sure what is happening here. Is it something serious that I have to get fixed asap and avoid driving?
Thank you.
If the oil light automatically turns off, and it's red not yellow, it is the oil pressure light!
It means "stop driving now! imminent engine damage possible!"
Do check the oil level. If it's ok, you may be lucky and it's possible the oil pressure sensor has some issues. Or, it may be the case that the engine really has sometimes too low oil pressure.
I wouldn't drive on a car with flickering red engine oil light without at least having the lubrication system checked by a competent mechanic... The damage could be very expensive.
