When the car hasn’t been driven it says “Hot Oil” sometimes. And whenever it doesn’t say “Hot Oil” and I do drive it and turn it off and if I turn it back on right away sometimes it’ll say “Hot Oil” again.

Hi,

There is an oil temperature sensor on the engine that may be failing. If you look below, I attached the removal and installation procedures for you.

Before replacing it, check to make sure there is no damage to the wiring or the connector. Make sure the connector fits tight as well.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

Joe
