Default Oil Pressure

Ok, now for some reason out of nowhere, but usually after I have been riding my car ruff my, oil pressure light comes on. The oil level is fine and I am running full synthetic through. I have no reason what would cause the light to come on and was wondering if anyone else has had this problem or even if anyone would know what is causing it and how to fix it. Thanks all.

i had that problem with my 1g, i think it is just when the RPM's get so low after letting off the gas it is just reading low oil pressure

Make freakin sure you got 4 or 5 quarts in er. and I would try another sensor, (problem is they won't take it back) if that not it, you could check it with tester if a guy can find out what the readings are suppose to be.

there is def enough oil in there. I am wondering if it could be an idle sensor because it is starting to do it when i first start it up too.

Worst case scenario, you might need to go throughyour bottom end soon
Do you have a actual gauge or just idiot light? I would suggest hookin up a gauge straight to sensor like a kit you can get at autostore and see what your actual reading is
