    Default engine oil pressure

    The check light just came on for engine oil pressure. The car was running amazingly last nightm didnt leak any fluids, and now its giving me this error. The car runs/sounds fine, do yall think its a sensor error? I just dont feel comfortable driving a car thats telling me low oil pressure

    replace the sensor, might want to pop in a gage to see what its really running at when hot at an idle to be safe.

    anyone have a diagram? my bentley hasnt arrived yet, and I would like to clean the sensor and see if that works. Also my oil IS low, if I drive it around how long should it take to pop off?
