Hey there everyone,
I couldn't access the archives for some reason and I'm a bit impacient
right now so here it goes.
Once my van gets goin' (i.e: warms up) on highway rides she's great no
problem.  However once I exit the highway the oil sensor light goes on and
stays on until I either downshift or speed up to get the rpm's going.  This
usually happens around 27000 or below.  It's not oil amount, i've checked
it several time to make sure.  Does this sound like an oil pressure problem
or maybe an oil temperature problem or......other.   This usually happens
on average warm days up here in VT and since they seem to be long gone she
doesn't do as often but she still does it and .........damb...........so
annoying I've got to get this fixed ...soon any suggestions/comment will be
helpful as always sorry I had to weight to everyone directly.

What weight of oil are you using? What brand of oil filter? Have you
checked the Oil pressure sender?
