Question for the engine guru's



If the light is on below 2000 RPM, it could be an actual oil pressure issue.
There are 2 sensors. One is 'dynamic', and only trips above 2k RPM. The
other is full time, and is set to a lower trip pressure. If you are getting
the light anywhere <3000 and also <2000, you are either tripping both
sensors, or the full time sensor is on its way out, or as stated initially -
you could have a real problem.
