Oil light

Asked by Guru5KC4Q Jan 25, 2018 at 08:25 PM about the 2000 Toyota Avalon XL

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

The oil light keeps coming on on my Avalon. The oil
cap had a crack in it, so I thought it was losing
pressure. I’ve put a new cap on but it still comes
on. There’s plenty of oil (maybe too much. About 1
cm over on the stick) and the car runs fine. No
untoward noises or smoke.

Do you have a 3.0L v6 engine? This engine has undersized oil passages causing oil sludging. Run an oil system flush.
