Hi Kevin
not sure which Dave you are referring to here, there are quite a few of us.
Congrats on your new bus, is it a new import? Newly imported Aces have usually been standing idle for some months, and could have spent up to six months on a boat. Standing for this length of time can result in odd or quirky faults, and the oil light sticking on is one of them. Failing that, it could just be thin oil.
Best advise is, if you have no history of the bus, or are at all unsure, then at least a full service should be done ASAP. Its also advisable to change the cam belt and flush and descale the cooling system. Check the radiator cap, If it doesn’t have a float on the inside, get one that does. Toyota part number 16401-64501

Have a good read through the archives, http://mpvi.net/ia/indexarc.htm it will help you gain much insight into the Ace’s.
Regards
dave Bright
