Owners manual states to change the oil when the oil light comes on. I am not convinced this is working, seems to flash ocassionally on startup then turn off after 20 seconds. If it were the oil change indicator, wouldn't it come on and STAY on? I HAVE reset it when I changed the oil. Just had the oil changed yesterday, the light was NOT on, and I don't think the garage reset the light. Can this light really be relied upon? Truck is driven mostly locally w/ ocassional long weekend trips, but seems like over 10k miles would go by without the light coming on.

This isn't a car problem, but - We have a JLG bucket lift with a Ford 2.5L 4cyl. ('88 or '89) Last year, we had a problem with the unit not starting. Got the telltale click, click, click sound. Service tech determined it to be the solenoid. Said part was replaced. Unit started fine. After about 20 starts, the starter would not disengage after cranking. - even after key switch was turned off. The only way to stop it was remove battery cable. Solenoid - and this time a starter - were replaced to the tune of $500. Unit ran great for about 6 mos. Then same problem. Starter would remain engaged. Sometimes tapping the solenoid would help. Finally found out that by shorting across the solenoid, it would disengage. Solenoid again replaced. Monday of this week-- same thing. Burnt the starter out. Another $500. Today, after only 3 starts on the new solenoid and starter, it did the same thing. It does not seem to matter if the unit is cold, or has been running all day. The solenoid is the remote type. - and they are using Mastercraft parts. Anyway, the repair techs are all baffled. Even the "expert" techs at JLG are scratching their heads. I highly doubt that we have had this many bad solenoids in a row. What could be causing this thing to stay engaged? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I don't seem to be able to find a priest willing to perform an excorcism on a boom lift.... Thanks.
