I just had my camshaft position sensor replaced and i noticed on the day I got the car back from the mechanic, the car's oil pressure and "low oil level" lights would flash when i came to a stop. It's been a week and it still happens. However, I did notice it only happens if i've been driving for at least a half hour. The lights always go away if I tap the gas a little or start driving but as long as the car isn't in motion and i'm not touching the gas, the lights will flash. It's almost as if the pressure is at a borderline level and that's why they flash instead of stay on. I've obviously checked the oil amount and i'm pretty sure that the sensor is related somehow. Thanks for your help.

hmmm well i have this maxim 'never ever buy version 1.0 of ANYTHING'...

wait for v2 when (hopefully) most of the worst offenders have been cured...

If you're in a warm climate area try a new Purolator One filter and some 15w-50 Mobil One synthetic oil. If the oil pressure light stops flickering you probably just have a worn out motor and it needs a little heavier oil. You can also try that Valvoline High Mileage oil, maybe it'll help.

When my low level light comes on it is usually indicating that I need an oil change (or actually low oil level!) Works with fresh oil, but dirty oil sets it off.

If low oil pressure thats an other issue. Oil pump comes to mind. But I know little about those.

Good light Luck!

The low oil LEVEL sensor, located on the front of the oil pan, was a known problem and often malfunctioned. It was discontinued in '94s on up (gone).
You can replace the sensor if you still want that feature but it's easiest to just use a blue scotch lock (or whatever) and connect its two sensor wires together so the light will then always be off.

Oil PRESSURE is yet another issue so if you're also seeing that, have it checked with a manual oil pressure guage to be sure it's OK.
