Oil Pressure Warning Poop

[kaizr]

UPDATE:

Called the shop that did the oil change. They said they did not have an oil pressure gauge. Called the garage I prefer for service, said they would hook car up to computer to run diagnostic. Did not seem to understand or have oil pressure gauge, would cost ~1 hour labor.

Did not test oil pressure.

Have driving about 12 miles since original post: no odd startup, no extended warm up period, no burning oil smell, no noise or knocking during operation. Everything seems to be normal. Except for the warning light.

If I replace that part (if it's the correct one) am I at least figuring out whether or not +1 is my problem?

What's +1?

The switch is cheap and easy, I would do it.

oops, should have been #1, replace my oil pressure sensor/switch with the linked item. Want to make sure it's the correct piece.

Yep, that's it.

Agreed. I would do it just to rule it out as a sensor issue. If the new sensor doesnt fix it, then I wouldn't even bother testing the oil pressure, I'd have them just drop the pan and replace the oil pickup tube and clean up the pan.

I'm not sure on the exact procedure to replace the switch though.
