Obnoxious buzzer on right turns

My coolent overfill is about 1/3rd filled like always, in the rad cap it's right up there. The oil was fine few weeks ago when I checked it.

Whats causing this loud *** buzzer? It'll happen on kinda sudden but constant right turns, but it'll even go off on a sudden move to the right.

Today when it went off for about 5 sec I looked on the dummy lights, no coolent one. So I got no idea what this is :S

thats what it sounds like check you oil level. could be a grounding out circuit to the oil level sensor that grounds out when you move to the right some of those wires run close to the body and frame.

Ah crap

What oil would you guys suggest for area thats like never below 30F and never higher then 105F

I've had something like 5w 10 or so, caused tons of blue smoke and oil pressure loss, I forgot what my dad put in after that cleared up those issues.

20w50?

You know that is a good point considering I've been using the washer alot, but I recall it having a dash light, right? Also I never recall it buzzing while low

he's messing with you.
Is your oil low now?
Is your coolant low now?

The other possibility is, there is an air bubble in your radiator and when you turn right, it's messing with the low level sensor.

If nothing is low, bleed the radiator.

ohhh at night Is aw it!

Theres a light that comes on, I'll take a look today when the key is at whatever position that shows all the idiot lights, it appeared to say "Add Coolent" so it's probably just a bubble

20w50 is what i run. I have solid mounts and the difference between 10w40 and 20w50 is night and day. 10w40 made my car vibrate like a ****. I then changed to 20w50 and never looked back.

The buzzer was coming on more and more often, it didnt require hard turns anymore, accelerating lightly even caused it to go on which alarmed me

Engine seems to run better now, oil pressure has been up higher too
