Mechanic's tip
Never ignore an oil pressure warning light — it could mean the sensor is faulty OR that actual oil pressure is dangerously low. Have the actual oil pressure tested with a mechanical gauge before assuming the sensor is the problem. The sensor itself is cheap; labor is the main cost, and location varies widely by engine.
