I've been getting the check oil light flashing extremely quickly and randomly. It never stays on and usually flashes so quick I can barely tell what it's saying. I check my oil regularly and it's full. Haven't burnt any since oil consumption fix was done. So I take it as needing the sensor replaced. Can anyone tell me the part number or where to buy it in Canada for best price? 2012 sh-awd. I could only find a TSB for 09 to 11 TL. Thanks.

I've actually been having the exact same issue yesterday. This was also after my oil consumption fix. My Acura advisor mentioned that its a common issue usually 1k to 2k miles after the fix. I called the Acura parts department, and one guy mentioned that it could be the Switch Assembly for the Valve Timing Oil Pressure Part #37250-PR3-003 ? But others have mentioned it either being which is the Switch Assembly, AT Oil Pressure 28610-R36-004 or 28600-R94-004

I found the part number at https://www.acuraoemparts.com but then again, I'm here in the US. Hopefully you can track down the part number from here in Canada. Good luck!

Any update on this?

Those last two parts you listed arent it, they are for the transmission.

I've called some dealerships and come up with 37240-R72-A01 (OR 37240-R72-A00) for $37.80 and 37250-PR3-003 for $104.37 or $10 cheaper at honda dealership.

Any ideas which one it is?

Oh nice. What year and model do you have?

I own a 2013 TL SH-AWD with Tech (6AT).
It just happened to me about 2k miles after my oil consumption. Apparently it's a common switch to fail after the job. Instead of me guessing around to see what switch it might be, they just asked me to come in for a free diag and took care of the labor for me.

Okay thats awesome, my dealership is being a little difficult. They want to charge me for a diag and then labor to replace it.

So I take it that the light doesn't come on anymore?

Yup! No more light up on startup. Sorry to hear that man. I do have a good relationship with my advisor over here since he approved me for my consumption. I made a big enough deal and he him self admitted that it's a common issue when the switch is starved of oil during the consumption job.

You could do it your self and save all of that money. From what I hear it's very simple job. You just have to get to it from the passenger wheel well. It's best to take the wheel off and go to work with a small ratchet.

There are tons of diagrams out there, so you'll get it.

Yeah it seems about as easy as changing an oil filter. I just ordered both those parts you listed from a honda dealership for $40 total, including tax.

I have same problem with my fwd 2009. Can you let me know how to DIY change that switch after you finish ?
