My oil light keeps lighting up on when i am at a complete stop.?

My 2003 dodge neon oil light seems to start beeping everytime i come to a compleate stop, and will continue beeping up untill i start moving again. I keep up with oil changes and have not seen any loss of oil recantly. Just wondering if anyone would have any suggestions on what this might mean. thanks ^^My oil light keeps lighting up on when i am at a complete stop.?
Your oil pump is getting wear on and not pumping like it should or your engine is getting worn. Either way it's not a good thing. You can put in a heavier oil and it might help some but when the light is on the bearings are being starved for oil.My oil light keeps lighting up on when i am at a complete stop.?
probably when u are stopped the car is idling to low, which also causes less oil flow, thats why when u resume driving light goes out, find out if the car is idling at the right rpm, thats most likely the problem, is the motor running a little rough when stopped ? if it is , low rpm for what ever reason
Typically, it means you have low oil pressure. And with indicator lights, there is usually very, very little oil pressure. Check your oil to make sure you have your 4 quarts or whatever it needs and aren't leaking any. Sounds like a common Chrysler problem as mentioned with the van above.
could be time for oil change and it could be a bad oil sensor which is easy to replace most offen its just above the oil filter one wire one part screws out easy... but it could be worse like a weak oil pump best not to be guessing and have it check
Ensure that the drain bolt and washer (gasket) for the oil well is securrly tight and have a oil change done to it immediatly before you cause oil friction and burn your engine!!!!!!
This happened to me also and they had to change a sensor and it stopped happening.
maybe low oil pressure or a faulty sensor u will have to get it checked.try cleaning around sensor and make sure it it seated/connected properly
Some cars have a change oil soon,reset button.....I would take it to an auto parts store and have them check your computer.
it could mean low oil presure,,,for whatever reason,,,have it checked.
