When the oil light comes on, I'll stop and check the oil level (obviously the car is at hot running temp. at the time.) Seems to be at a lower reading mark than when checking it at cold. But that will be normal. I do add a few drops of oil and the oil light will go away. Also, once the car sits for a while and gets cold again, the oil light will not light up. I don't see any leaking oil anywhere. Hence why I was wondering about the oil cooler question and thinking about installing a front mount oil cooler.
