Low oil warning light comes on when temps are cold. Plenty of oil. Goes away when warm.

However this did not happen last winter. Does anyone else experience a similar thing with their 90?

Probably a worn sensor?

Default How fa king cold is it where you are?

Today's high was about -11F or -24C for you Canadians...

At that temperature, your motor oil flows like molasses. Take it real easy on your engine until it's warmed up.

Got block heater?
