My car has been getting some weird lights lately, escpecially if I turn a corner shraply or park on a hill. Normally, I just turn off the car, and they go away when I turn it back on. If that doesnt work, you may have a short or something.

its not a ****ing oil level light. its oil pressure and if you have low enough pressure to trip the light its a big problem. no oil pressure = no oil circulating through the engine.

Your oil pressure light is probably the most critical light in your car, get that checked out by a Honda mechanic ASAP!

I say Honda mechanic because when it comes to things like that, I want them to follow Honda procedure, replace with Honda parts, and if something goes wrong, theyll own up to it (sometimes ).

Just get that light checked out, I dont B messin wit da oil light
