Oil light staying on
I've got an 03 rincon I just recently purchased. Bought it pretty much site unseen from a inlaw. I changed the oil but not the filter (it needed it and my filter hadnt showed up yet). Well anyway the oil light came on about ten minutes of riding. I checked the oil level and it showed just below the fill line. So I added a little more oil. Starting riding again same thing. So I read on here that some ppl suggest running it a little over so I added more oil. Same thing after riding for a few minutes it comes back on. I've got about 3.5 quarts of oil in it now. I used valvoline 10-40 atv oil. It also seems to be shifting funny, I'm not real sure cause this is my first automatic and I've had some ppl say they shift erratic. I don't know. Has anyone else had these issues?

Your best bet is to keep the oil level AT the full line. I use G4 synth. oil from Honda. As far as the oil light goes....Could be a few things. Oil filter is the first and easy thing to do. Oil pump maybe starting to go out. Oil cooler should be cleaned of all debris. Or a bad oil level senser?

This post is old but I just ran into the same thing. It turned out for me that the wire to the oil temp sensor was broken off. The sensor is located just above and slightly to the left of the oil drain plug.
