Head gaskets replaced 2 weeks ago, tonite oil light blinking. No difference performance of car, no oil leak?

performance hasn't changed. no loss of power, no noises, just a flashing oil light.Head gaskets replaced 2 weeks ago, tonite oil light blinking. No difference performance of car, no oil leak?
your very low on oil, check your dipstick and add oil before you do more damage, if you have a oil pressure guage make sure there is pressure also because it could also be a bad oil pump





edit: just noticed you drive a honda so there will be no guage im sure you are just low on oil check and add.Head gaskets replaced 2 weeks ago, tonite oil light blinking. No difference performance of car, no oil leak?
The effect of replacing a Head Gasket would be felt at two places.





1. Engine temperature ( if there is a fault with head gasket, then the engine oil will be blowed into the radiator.this causes unusual engine temperature)





2. Oil leakages ( Minor fault with gasket will spill oil all over the engine compartment)





When the engine Head Gasket is replaced, by default the radiator also needs a clean up, because the oil that has been blown out the faulty gasket will be accumulated in the radiator.


So, the radiator will not perform that great.








To check if the gasket is working properly, just a small check will be helpful





Applying hand break and in neutral position - open the Radiator Cap and start the engine. If the water in the radiator is blowing out, it shows that there is tsill a fault with the head gasket.








Once the gasket is replaced and radiator is cleaned, fill the engine oil of specific grade for required capacity.








If you see the oil light blinking and even after checking the engine oil level to be exact, that will be a loose contact of the wire to the indicator.





A keen observation shall fix the problem for yourself, if not just take the vehicle to any mechanic and inform him to check for loose wire for engine oil indication.
Blinking or flickering? If someone has been rooting around your engine compartment, check for loose wires - especially around the oil pressure sending unit.
Check the oil level and see if the level is correct, then have someone find and check the oil pressure sesor to see if it has a bad connection or has come unplugged
No question so hence no answer.
