The oil lamp icon comes on after about 2 minutes after starting .... then tends to sporadically flicker on and off for about 2 minutes .... then stays on ..... but does tend to go off when going up a hill at high RPM. "Check engine" light is on but the code doesn't reflect anything having to do w/ the oil pump or anything else having to do w/ oil circulation. I'm hoping it's the oil pressure sending unit ... Thx

Just guessing, but it sounds like you are loosing pressure from the bearings.....If you had the crankshaft journals cut, or if they were slightly out of round to begin with, this can happen. Cutting removes material...the journals on most modern engines are too thin to do this (same weight saving idea that gave us rotors that you need to throw away) After cutting, they go egg shaped. Not cutting and starting with out of round condition will essentially give you the same problem but may take a bit longer to fail.
Of course, check all clearances and sealing points, but I believe that's where you will find the problem.

hi there this sounds to me like your oil level indicator is saying the oil is low, if this is not the case you need an oil change.
or to stop hard turns and hard braking lol.

Acheep way to find out is had some power punch to the oil buy a quart for 6 bucks drain a quart of oil and put it in it the light does not xome on then it's fixed. if it still comes on check the pressuere sending unit it could be defective to.

Any smoke from the back end? Did you check the oil level? Have you added oil recently? Its possible it might have been over filled. (which can be worse than underfilled) Also, open the radiator cap and check for white gunge. If its there you have a blown oil seal somewhere which is leaking into the coolant. Obviously, also check to see if you enough oil in there first.
