low oil pressure stop engine light
(2008 Chevy Impala LT. - 3.5 liter engine.) Has approximately 170,000 miles on it.
At 167,907 miles we changed the oil using Mobil 1 - 12 month oil.
Twice now the "low oil pressure - stop engine" light has come on.
The first time was last Wednesday. (1/3/2018) When it happened, I pulled over and checked the oil. It was very low --I put about 1 1/2 quarts of oil in it and drove the rest of the way home. (about 3 miles). On Thursday, (1/4/2018) I had my wife pick up a 5 quart container of 5W30 oil and after checking the oil again, I put in 2 more quarts of oil.
I have driven it several times (once even on the highway) and the light had not come on again. I even checked the oil 1/10/2018 when I got home last night. It was full.
This morning (1/11/2018) I started out of town and the light came on again. I stopped the car and checked the oil again. It was still full.
