Why does my oil light keep coming on?

Answer by  worker3164 (16)

I would first have a local shop or Autozone, check the codes, which will tell you if it is a leak or an oil pressure issue. If it is a leak, then you should start looking for the leak. With that vehicle, it is possible that it may be a leaky valve cover gasket, or a leaky head gasket.

It could be because you are low on oil. It also could be the oil pump is bad. Or it could be that you are leaking alot of oil

Need to check oil level. And if that is good,You need to run some test, could be a oil sending unit, or it could be low oil pressure. I would take it to repair shop to have tested

Usually when the oil level is low your oil light will come on. Check your levels to make sure they are alright. Your oil pump may be bad as well.

Well depending on what year you van is the light might possibly means different things. Usually though it is a light to indicate either a low oil condition or a lack of oil pressure.
