Oil light

A couple of ways people approach this.

See if the connections are clean and undamaged, look at the wire, has it rubbed against something and is bare? Has the wire or the actual connector melted?

Does the engine sound normal? Any knocking or other strange noises? (If so, this may be more serious than I am discussing)

If it were constant (light or low gauge) reading low, I might substitute the "sender" for the connection of my mechanical gauge and get a true reading (not electrical) of what the oil pressure is actually doing. This takes a little time and maybe a bit more effort, especially if you have to get a mechanical gauge. This is the best way to verify your pressure.

Picture of my "thrown together" gauge at bottom (picture one).

Sometimes people just replace the sender for their "test", basically unscrew the old one and screw the new one back in. One not hard to get to might make this a quick easy task. Sort of a gamble, maybe a quick fix!

Yours looks to be easy to access. See my second picture at the bottom (screenshot of your vehicle from "All Data") I highlighted in red.

Here is a link (however long it lasts) to an auto store showing the part in question.

Looks to be really expensive at $12.39!

In either case I have discussed above, If things do not return to normal, going to have to dig deeper. If your oil pressure is not doing right, do not drive the vehicle, serious engine damage can happen! (and it will, fast!)

I posted this link from "repair guides" (at the top right of our pages) this might give you a little more professionally written idea of the pressure situation.

Just as an often overlooked/ procrastinated reminder, your owner's manual will tell you too. Check your oil and coolant weekly. The life of your engine/vehicle will be reflected in keeping up with your scheduled maintenance.

Return with some good news!

The Medic

It could be just the pressure sensor or it could be a worn engine. Best option would be to install a mechanical pressure gauge on it and see what the pressure really is. Most of the light sensors are very low pressure (7-14 pounds is common) and by then you can have damage being done. If the pressure does test low you could try running a thicker oil and see if it improves it. If it is just the sending unit then swapping it should do the trick.

That sender works by simply grounding the wire. There is a spring loaded switch inside the unit and oil pressure pushes it open. They fail because the sealing diaphragm develops a leak and oil gets to the wrong side. Because it does not compress it holds the switch almost closed and it takes more pressure to open it.
