Hi guys:
My oil pressure light comes on stating that my oil pressure is low, along with a high temperture light. I have changed the oil, and there is no noise coming from the engine such as knocking or ticking.

My question to you is do you think it is possibly a bad oil sensor, and if so, can it wait a few days before fixing it?

Thanks,
Sy

Sure it could be, I would bring it to autozone and have it scanned for trouble codes to be sure, but firstly, just top off all of your fluids for an extra safety measure. And also check your engine coolant temp sensor and thermostat. You should be ok, but address it asap
