My Oil  light comes on and buzzes sometimes when I decelerate and brake.  This
happens after the engine is warm and I've been driving a few minutes  at
sustained high speed (3800 - 4000 rpm).

It quickly goes out and  doesn't come on again until I decelerate and almost
stop. This happened a  year ago on a long trip and caused me some concern,
but hasn't happened  since. Is this anything to worry about?

The oil seems a little  over the max level. Could this be the cause?

Paul,  this is one time you NEED to check the archives.  This subject has
been  discussed by myself and many others many, many times in the past.

Please note that I will be away from my  business travelling in Mexico from
November 19, 2007 until April 30, 2008.  Parts orders will be processed
although not as quickly as usual.  I  will always be available for contact by E-mail.
 If you phone your  call will be addressed by Greg T. Brown here and he will
either call you back or  advise you to contact me directly by E-mail.  Details
of this adventure are  at _Buses in  Zamora_
