My low oil lite comes on everytime i start my car. Before i start it, I check the oil to see if its low its full so what i do is start the car and engine rattles and smooths out. I have to restart the car to turn off the lite. I dont know nothing about cars so i ask one of my friends told me that Oil pump maybe bad. Where is ol pump located. I had the sensor changed 4 months ago. Also can it be my computer acting up. I just had that replaced with a used one.

You need to have an oil pressure test done if low oil pressure light is on.
