    Oil light? Cant figure it out

    When i drive for a while the oil light stays solid at idle and blinks when the car is moving. I dont have a leak anywhere? What else could be the problem? I get enough power and everything else but the light will not stop blinking. I drove the car about 200 miles on a trip last weekend and the light never came on but on short stop and go trips it does. I checked the oil and the level is perfect. Please help this is driving me crazy.

    I have the excact same problem as you. The answer would be either the malfunctioning oil pressure sensor or the oil pump. But most commonly is the oil pressure sensor. Cheap fix

              Where is the oil pressure sensor located on the engine. Is it hard to get to? Ive been driving it like this for about 1 month did i do any crazy damage to my engine?

                It's right above the oil filter.

                If it's just a fualty sensor, it won't cause much damage, if any at all.

                If it truly is your oil pump, your engine could be screwed.

                An easy way to test if your oil pressure is good is to get a oil pressure gauge and hook it up.

                  I had this problem happen to me after I changed my oil a few weeks ago. I used 5w-30 in the engine and I think because of 16 years of wear on bearings and such that the oil was too thin for the heat of the summer months. I switched to a heavier weight oil and it solved to problem.

                      If level is fine usually its the oil sending unit. Worst case scenario is oil pump but you will know if thats goin out.
