Car was fine two hours ago....now no starter action and the oil light is on!

But, all the other lights on the instrument cluster go off one by one....but not the oil light. It has never stayed on before now. Lots of cranking power. Just get clicking but no starter action.

Yeah I know all that!.. Oil light won't go off on ANY vehicle until engine is running... **Try a jump start**.. IF that don't help, possible starter or engine problem.. Forget about the oil light until it's on with the engine running, then it's a problem!!!.. All I can do is offer a suggestion..but It's a suggestion that has some merit I might add!!

only if heeded................

Evidently it's not..in this case. Hi Harry.

Agree with pushrod,and some people's kids what r u gonna do

Hmmmmmmmmm.........

Hey, kids....I'm a 70 year old grandma. No kid here. And, when I was young I built air cooled engines for VW and Corvair. Been a while but I'm not a dummy. I am not well-versed in the new engines with computers, etc. I felt that the question had merit. Obviously the oil light would remain on without the engine running normally...I thought it might indicate something else. I did have the engine light come on a while back but it was only EVAP and a new gas cap fixed that. I don't own a code reader or I'd do my own diagnosing....maybe I should invest. In any event, this old granny says....be nice...folks are only asking for your thoughts on issues.

We just don't know no better I reckon!.. No disrespect intended at all.. We just joshing one another mostly here... Guess I'm no spring chicken myself, I remember the Bug and the Corvair very well... I hope you have good luck with this little problem.. I think (hope) it just something simple... Starter maybe, hard to say online what it is! ...Good night.
