Appears to have oil pressure - (upper engine gets quiet after start up after a few seconds)
Oil level is normal
Serviced regularly
Just put a new radiator in. Oil pressure sensor wire is intact, no loose connectors. (don't know if it's normal, but sensor only has one wire going into what appears to be a two wire plug?)

If there is no knocking or ticking, you have oil pressure and the oil switch is most likely bad. It only has one wire to it. I attached a picture to show you.

Beautiful! Thanks for the quick and thoughtful response! I will let you know after replacing the sensor if it corrects the problem.

Glad to help. If you still have a concern, let me know and I'll walk you through checking it with a mechanical gauge.
