Oil Light Flickers - Oil Level is OK
After running at freeway speeds, then coming to a stop sign... the oil light flickers momentarily. Once the car has been shut off and sits for a bit, then driven again around town, light does not flicker. Oil level checks good.
Just had the timing belt and water pump replaced. Car has 196,000 miles on it and has never had any engine problems whatsoever. Could it be an oil pressure sending unit, or a clogged oil filter or something simple?
Thanks, mitch

Hyundai oil filter, TSB.. likely not your issue, but.......
Oil pressure test
oil sender unit
oil pump pickup in pan clogging with debris ?
That should give you somewhere to start,,,, BTW,,, what year Elantra we playing with ?

Oil Light Flickers
It's a 2005 Elantra GT... I bought a new oil pressure switch, but the only diagram I can find that shows where the switch should be doesn't match up with my engine. Any ideas on where I can find the correct diagram? My car was actually manufactured in Dec of 2004.
Meanwhile, just in case something might be clogged, I added a bottle of CD2 Oil Additive to my oil... After driving around at city speeds for awhile, then hitting the freeway and running it up to 70 mph for a bit, I did NOT experience the oil light flickering once I exited the freeway and came back to an idle. Seems that it may indeed have been a clog somewhere.
I would like to install that new oil pressure switch though.. The one thats in there has been at it for 196,000 miles!
