Oil light flashes, and the beeper goes off, variable on the length of beeps sometimes 1 time to multiple times. More constant than ever before. Oil level is fine changed the oil pressure switch. Still nothing.

We need to start with checking the oil pressure with a mechanical gauge so that we can find out if this is truly low pressure or a sensor/gauge issue. Here is a guide:

I attached the process from the manual so let's check the pressure and go from there. If this is low oil pressure then we may need to go into the engine to solve it so we need to make sure. Thanks
