If the engine seems normal other than the light being on lets dig deeper. The sensor has been giving you some issues which is normal. I would think since you have had to replace it several times there may be an issue with the wiring or the connection at the sensor.<\/p>\n<h3>What to Try First, Low Oil Pressure<\/h3>\n<p>Have someone sit in the vehicle and watch the oil light\/gauge. Perform the wiggle test by wiggling the wires and the connection at the oil pressure sending unit.
