I replaced the sensor today. It was cheap–only six
bucks–and the buzzer isn't going off anymore. The one
replaced was the one down at the filter. I havn't even
messed with the one in the dash. As long as this keeps
working I don't plan to go up there anyway. The oil
pump tested out all right. Thanks for your input, and
that goes for everyone else out there who pitched in.
With all that I found it right away.
