Subject:Oil warning light?
From:Gregory S. Morrison

Dear Vanagon Gurus: While driving on the interstate this weekend the oil
light came on and buzzed when driving in 4th gear as we came to the top of a
grade. It would go out and stop buzzing if I shifted down to 3rd.

This has never happened before this weekend.

I checked the oil level and it was normal.

When the transmission was rebuilt several years ago we had a taller 4th gear
installed for less engine strain and better gas mileage at freeway speeds.

Thanks,
Greg
