When does the oil light come on on a 2001 Chrysler Sebring?
2001 Chrysler Sebring- oil light comes on when I stop for a red light. As soon as I let off the break and begin moving, the light goes off. Only happens after I have driven for about 30 min.
Why does my Chrysler Sebring smell like oil?
What’s happening is when you come to a stop, your engine’s rpms drop to a level that lets the oil pressure drop too low. That’s from the oil being too thin for the clearances in your engine after they have been worn out from all the miles. If you can smell oil burning, it may be working it’s way past the piston rings or valve seals.
Why does the oil light come on when I come to a stop?
This sounds like you have a bearing clearance that is excessive enough to cause the oil pressure at low engine rpms (when the oil pump’s output is lowest) to fall below the oil sending unit pressure threshold for when the light turns on. That threshold is often in the 7 psi range. I would try missleman’s suggestion for a new sending unit first.
Why does my Chrysler 2.7 motor run hot?
Does it have the 2.7 motor? 99-02 Chrysler 2.7 motors had major oil sludge issues. They run hot, have poor oil recirc designs and basically wear out due to poor oil flow. RE: 99-02 Chrysler 2.7 motors had major oil sludge issues. I thought the workaround for avoiding sludge in these “sludge-prone” engines was to change the oil more frequently.

What to do if your Sebring oil is leaking?
As dbll responded, first check oil level. If it’s low it is leaking or burning. Verify the correct viscosity oil was used. A clogged screen in crankcase, or oil filter, or failing oil pump can be a culprit. A pressure check may identify internal wear or faulty sending unit.
