Good morning, I had my "Low Oil level light" come on this morning and stay on, and is still on. I assuming possible pressure sensor problem or actual pressure lose from the oil pump? Once again thank you for your help, you all have been great.

well obviously first thing to do is check oil level and if full it is probably the sensor in oil pan bad or wires grounding out against block or metal. so check that first.yours doesn't show a sensor for level but look on oil pan you'll see it it does show pressure sensor
