Very hard braking (emergency stop) now will make my Oil light come on. Is this ok?
(Preview)
Did some full on high speed brake testing today.. The dash OIL light came on... once. Did not repeat it. It's never done that before. Ever. Oil level is good. Should I worry, and will it matter much at idle? Wonder if that idiot light trying to tell me something, lol!
