high pressure oil pressure sensor

[Livolsi, Stephane]

Not meaning to insult anyone, but personally, when my oil pressure light
goes off, I shut the engine down right away, and I assume a major
internal problem until I confirm a faulty sensor.  I think you're
playing a dangerous game in assuming the sensor is faulty right away.
