When I was driving back to the city last night, I noticed that my check oil light was flashing, it happened at least 2 or 3 times. I thought it was that I was running out of oil. So I bought some oil and checked it. However my oil is still pretty full. So I don't know what's going on. Is it just a sensor or would be there something more serious to this?

Hi yes could be a sensor but could also be more serious you need to have your oil pressure tested manually if oil pressure is fine then replace the sending unit
