TAchometer Buzzer

Hello, I have a problem maybe you can help with. I just drove about 200mi to San Francisco this weekend and by the time I got into the city my tach buzzer was going off RANDOMLY! It is still doing it just not as bad. I need help to fix this cause it is a big problem, at first I thought ppl were honking at me. Thanks

P.S. It seems to be worse making turns

No, the REALLY loud redline buzzer is going off at like 2-3k rpms.

Check your fluids. The warning buzzers for oil or coolant are just as loud.

The coolant overflowed when I popped the cap, the oil looked low from the dipstick so I am going to get an oil change right now. I have to look at when my last on was, I might just add some oil. I will re-post after I get that done.

You guys are awesome! It was my oil sensor, the dipstick was lying cause after 2qts of 5w30 it shut up. Since it was only around turns that it was buzzing I thought it was a short. I couldn't make it to get an oil change just yt but what type of oil should I use in it? I live at about 2500ft. Also I read somewhere on a sticky that the rx uses about 1qt of oil every 1k miles, can you explain why to an amateur please.

I read that but I am wondering why it injects oil almost like a 2-stroke design. I have seen the little puffs of gray smoke come out my exhaust.

The oil lubricates the Apex seals mainly.
