Oil light on at idle on all 911's?

When engine is completly warm oil light comes on when idling. Do all 911's do this? Is there a way to stop it from happening, like different oil or oil additives?

Mine does not do this but it is not an uncommon problem

As long as pressure goes up as you come off idle
rule of thumb 1 bar for every 1000 rpm

So 4000rpm should = 4bar of pressure...

Do a search and U will find additional threads on this topic

Is your car idling at 950(+/- 50rpm)? If so, either you have faulty light/switch or oil pressure problem. No, it's not normal.
