Hey,
i got a 2001 chevy cav(2.2) as DD and like my friends 2000 camaro the oil pressure light goes on in traffic only

i changed my oil and my mechanic looked at it and ran it all day he said no problem

i usually dont beat on the car cause it has to last

could it be a sensor or is there a big probelm

Get a manual oil pressure gauge.

Or maybe a new oil pressure sending unit.....

Got to make sure the gauge is wrong or there could be other issues.

Also make sure your using the correct oil.
