I have a few questions for you guys that have had an oil pressure problem.
-how often are you changing your oil? -what oil filter are you using? -is this isolated to 2010 models or have 2011 models been plagued with this too? -are you using synthetic oil and are you using 5w30? -do you baby your car or drive it spiritedly? If you don't want to answer these questions on the open forum, please pm me . I'm worried about myself having a problem and since I tuned my car before I even found out via this forum that dealers are voiding warranty because of it. And I might trade this thing in before 10k miles and stay away from chevy because of it. I've had 9 brand new Honda vehicles and never had to worry about a warranty issue because Honda takes care if their customers no matter what. I'm sorry but I don't want to be wrenching on my brand new car and having to change an oil pump because of a factory defect and the dealer being lazy and pointing the finger at my tune....so give me your input guys if you don't mind.

So in a nutshell, you drive your car easily? Any others? I drive normal alot, but it's to the floor more than three times per trip to and fro work.

I had this same issue and GM immediately voided the warranty and refused to even diagnose. I replaced the oil pump with a Melling pump, fired the car back up and have not had any issues since. I would encourage EVERYONE that is considering a tune to have your oil pump replaced under warranty BEFORE you tune. As others mentioned, there is a TSP for this issue and GM will void your warranty if you have a tune. Mine was the sticking relief valve and I would be willing to bet that Dingos was as well...and as someone mentioned...a little knocking about loosened his up. If it's happened once, it will likely happen again...just hope your sensor notifies you in time and you stop your car in time before you have catastrophic damage. If you are opening up the front of the motor (cam), replace your oil pump, timing chain, and tensioner...three relatively inexpensive preventative items that could save you big $$$ in future repairs...

Got stuck over the weekend with a low oil pressure light. I was a quart low of oil for some reason. I only have 3900 miles on my 011 SS. Added the quart and it didn't make a difference. Personally had my car towed out my on pocket to my house since I broke down 90 miles away and OnStar only allows a tow to the dealer closest to where I broke down.
I just got a call from OnStar stating that my car was picked out a minute ago to be delivered to my local dealer. Hopefull it is just the sensor also.
