yeah, its the over rev buzzer. you shouldnt be holding the engine over 6500K for too long anyways. for one you arent making any useful power at that range and two, apex seal chatter.

but why does the oil light come on when it buzzs?

That shouldn't be happening. Do you have enough oil in your car?

I don't think I would have admitted that...

Icemark

The buzzer does three things:

Oil low (with warning light)
Exceeding Redline (no warning light)
Water low (with warning light)

If the Low Oil light is coming on when you are at redline, then either the wrong weight oil (or some lame oil additive) has been used, or there is a wiring issue with the car.

Make sure you have not used any lame oil additives like the Lucas crap or MMO, both of which can cause foaming in the oil at high RPMs.

JESUS! You can rev your engine to 6,500,000 rpms...!!! (6500k is 6.5 million) I know, im being an ***.


In either case the over rev buzzer shouldnt come on until you are at or over 8000k rpms if you have an S5. With an S4 it may come on over 7000. Sounds like you have an S5 then.


And since Im being a dick already: I WARNED you about this car. Many times. This is just one more reason WHY i warned you.
