My oil light comes on at idle. I was told it could be the oil pressure switch or the main bearings or the oil pump. What do you think? Is the oil pressure swiitch located close to the oil filter? I'm having trouble finding it.
Do you
have the same problem?

To find out what's causing the light to come on-Check the oil pressure with a mechanical gauge if normal replace the oil pressure switch abnormal could mean oil pump and engine bearings.

The oil pressure switch is located on left side of engine-see below no. 16
