Yesterday while driving in the sand I had the Hot Oil light come on. Why would this happen and what is the proper procedure after this happens, another words what should I do? Can this hurt my jeep.?

 

were you running it hard in the sand?

 

Yes, it can hurt your automatic transmission.
When it happens, all you can do is stop what you were doing until it cools off.


Install a transmission cooler in-line with the factory cooler.

What were the circumstances of your sand running?
4hi, 4lo, what gear were you in, etc.
Include a description of your Jeep.

 

Yes. I forgot to turn the eps off and the thing bogged down trying to get power. I got to the hard top and pulled over to let it cool. Did I hurt my jeep?

 

Thats it, I was in loose sand with the eps on. The motor died down. I was going fine but the hot oil light came on.

 

Oh ok. It is a 2009 4 door with 315 tires and 3.75 gears. Here is a link to the photos of it.

Ok thanks for the post

 

auto trans + 35's + stock gears + 4HI + sand = incinerate

Either go 4LO or get some 5.13's

Have fun.
