Oil light comes on and goes off when I start driving. Just troubleshooting. So going to change the oil pressure sensor and go from there. Can you tell me where the sensor is located?

The sensor should be next to the oil filter. I attached the process to replace this.

If this does not solve the issue we are going to need to check the oil level and confirm the type of oil you are using.

Let's start here and go from there. Thanks

That is where I usually start, replace the sensor. Sometimes a pigtail is needed (connector)
because it will be soaked in oil and at times will need to be either cleaned with electrical contact cleaner or brake clean, or outright replaced if the wire insulation is disintegrated. And if all fails, verify oil pressure as stated above.
