my car has 112k. Do oil sensors go out around that time?
its been going on and off every so often.

let me know.

 

I don't believe oil sensors are a common failure item. They are easy to damage when you replace the tranny or engine (Up against the firewall). They're not expensive; double check that the harness isn't damaged.

 

what is the one that is in the OIL pan?

 

odd thing is.. my low oil light is coming on, but my oil is not low at all on the dipstick!

i also put in a LS1 dip stick and it is actually a bit longer (1-2) inches, but it goes way over the full mark on it so i know it cant be low on oil.

The pan sensor is the oil level sensor; this lights the dash light for low oil level.

 

that sensor could go out right?

 

It can. The pressure sensor is on the back of the block. The level sensor is in the side of the pan on the drivers side.

 

cause that sensor on the pan is pretty dirty!!

maybe needs a clean or replaced huh?

if replaced how in the hell you take that thing out?
