Honda Oil Light Comes on with A/C Problem
 

Hi All,

Could you help identify this problem? I have an '97 Honda Prelude SH
with 167K miles. The oil light comes on in the afternoon when I drive
for a while with the A/C on. I drive for 30 min. on the freeway with
the A/C on then when I slow down to under 10mph or stop the oil light
begins to flicker and then blinks continuously. The rpm goes really
low but the engine doesn't shut off. It's hot in Houston. I turn off
the A/C and the oil light still flickers. I don't have this issue in
the mornings or at night. Does the heat have to deal with it?

I check my oil level and use Catrol Syntec Blend 10w30 and the levels
are normal. Is it the alternator? I don't think so, b/c my electrical
system seems normal. WHat do I need to change or replace?

ANy ideas?

Cheers
