      oil.pressure issues

      I hav an 05 aveo.. I recently was driving to work and noticed my oil pressure light started flickering amd then stayed on while i was going down the highway.. Now at the time.i was scared to death . So at work i immediately turned it off and when i came bak out did the exact same thing when it was warmed up.. But there are no noises or loss of power.. Nothing different at all.. Just the light..so my question is. How major is this im thinking its just the oil.pressure switch or maybe clogged sendingbunit.. Anyone hav any wxperie.ce with this??

      I think there was one of these recently that turned out to be a bad pressure sensor. You should be able to find that via a search. You could test the pressure at the sensor location if necessary. I imagine you'll get this figured out ASAP, just in case it's the pump or some kind of blockage. And I hope it's not anything like that!

      First, check to see if you are low on oil. If you aren't losing any oil, then what you are describing sounds like a bad oil pressure switch. I have had these go bad on other cars I've owned. It's usually a cheap part and easy to do as a DIY repair.

      Be sure to post after you have it checked out. Curious to know what the cause was.
