Why is my oil light on on my Harley?
There is something else causing the oil light to illuminate. May be as simple as a dead short in the oil pressure switch, or indicator light wiring. Or an engine problem. If you switch back to the originally used oil and the light stays off, the found problem is not fixed.
Why does the oil pressure light come on at idle?
If the oil pressure is OK at rpms above idle, it shows that the oil pump is up to the task; though, the engine may be rather worn. If it is OK at the higher rpms, you can nurse some more time out of the engine. You could buy one of these, change it out, and hope for the best if you don’t want to have an oil pressure test done.
