Default Oil Sensor

Hey guys, here lately the check engine oil light keeps coming on. Ive checked the oil repeatedly everytime and its good everytime. What else could it be? Faulty sensor maybe?

....the check engine light comes on, or the little message center says check oil level?

if its the light it probably doesnt have anything to do with the oil, in which case you need to have the codes read with a scanner

The way that sensor works is there is a little float in the oil pan and as long as their is sufficient oil it is floating upwards. So if yours is going crazy, check the connection and make sure you have enough oil...
