2001 Mazda MPV 160,000 miles runs perfectly, oil light on, mechanic says replace engine
I have a 2001 Mazda MPV minivan, 160,000 miles. It runs perfectly.
Starting this morning, my oil light comes on when I brake, and goes off
when I accelerate. It did this before the last oil change too (a couple weeks
ago). My mechanic says it has plenty of oil, and the oil sensor seems to be
fine, and they recommend a new $7000 engine and say it is unsafe to drive
because the engine is going to suddenly die. But it seems to be running
perfectly. Might there be some simpler explanation, and a possible fix?
