I have a 1997 Chrysler Sebring 2.5L V6 with the oil light coming on after warming up. The idle seems ok, changed the oil sending unit, worked ok for a day now the light comes on at idle after warming up. Using 10w-30 oil, always changed every 3k or sooner. Owned this car since 1999. What puzzled me is why it worked fine after changing the oil sending unit (from Auto Zone). Oil level is perfect, never uses or leaks oil. The engine runs very smooth and quiet. What would be the best "next step"? 73K original miles.

Add a quart..highr speed givs mor pressure

Make sure oil level is correct. Also the dragging caliber is probably the problem.when you put the brakes on hard one of them is probably sticking now.

Is your oil sending unit bad??? U can reset everything by unhooking the negative battery cable for a few minutes but i dont know if it will help your oil light..Check your connection at the oil sending unit and insure its got a good connection and check for shorts...

YES. You dont say what engine you have? but the 2.7L HAS LOTS OF PROBLEMS. there were some problems with oil sending units for these cars, oil sludging, and timing chain. Have the oil pressure verified with a mechanicl oil pressure gauge, if its low, think about trading it in on another car.

doesn't seem your pump should be bad after only 7 years unless you have triple the standard yearly mileage. I would find the oil pressure sending unit and replace it before i spent any big money. look at websites for advance and autozone to see what the sender looks like, then find it under your hood and see if you can and want to change it yourself.

Should be located close to the oil filter. It will screw in like a spark plug. It has a harness plug. Easy to change, save yourself $70 in labor. You will need a fairly large wrench to remove

Replace the camshaft sensor, the issue will go away.

Here is how I fixed the low oil pressure light problem without using any parts, only the labor to remove the oil pressure sensor is needed. I have an 02 seabring convertible 2.7L engine and I was having the same problem with my oil light coming on at an idle. I bought a new sensor replaced the old one and had the same problem. I than got a test kit and tested my oil pressure. It was very good, never lower than 11 PSI hot at an idle. I was reading about the wire connector modification, but I had an 02 and this mod came out in 98, surely Chrysler incorporated this mod on its newer vehicles. Well after checking more they did not and this is what turned me off on Chrysler products forever. For a manufacturer to produce a vehicle with a known defect and a modification fix and not incorporated this modification on its newer vehicles is inexcusable. After reading that the modification was to stop pressure build up in the sensor housing I decided to make a pressure release hole in the sensor housing. I took my old oil pressure sensor and using a 1/8 inch bit I drilled a small hole at the base of the plastic sensor tower. I put the old sensor in and drove for a week, no problem with my light coming on. To test further I took the new oil pressure sensor I bought and drilled a hole in it. Put it in and I've been driving for months and no problem with my oil pressure light coming on now.
