? I'm not under any warranty though. I have a 2010 Camaro 2SS bought used with 60k miles. Unless I might be missing something?

I've been reading a full 0 for the past day on my gauge with the car giving me frequent .5s bursts of the warning.

I did a few careful test drives on my lot while needle at 0 to see what was actually wrong. I kept it on near idle rpm while coasting and did some careful revs. No abnormal sounds. I don't know what an engine with no oil sounds lime. Thankfully I didn't have to.

It seems it might just be the sensor. I get the car back tomorrow. Will report on how it looks.

I would agree with the tech that it is the sensor. I had an oil pump go out on a different car once. Trust me, the engine tells you, check that, screams at you when there is no oil pressure, there is no doubt.

Agreed.

If the oil pump goes, usually the motor goes in less than 2 minutes.
