It diesn't do this during the first 15 minutes of driving, both in the morning on the way to work and in the evening on the way home. After what I assume is enough time for the oil to heat up and lose some viscocity, everytime I brake and come to a stop, the little genie oil lamp blinks on and off, dings incessantly. If I put it in neutral and rev the engine a little, it goes away. I filled the oil over the fill mark, but it didn't help. The Internet said to clean my oil sender with brake cleaner, but I can't get to it. I need to change my oil. The oil is black. Maybe the oil is just old and broken down.
