    How many miles on the motor. I would say that the oil pump is prob on it's way out. We have a old Z6 here that the oil light came on when the customer was on his way here to drop off the car. It didn't make it. First time I have seen a Honda crank break and it was on a stock motor. My be able to run a little thicker oil but that is only a temp fix.

    def get it looked at before you lose a motor, unless u are going to buy a motor anyways. I would save this motor and work it if you are wanting a little bit of power.
