How's the condition of the oil? Get it changed regularly and often? Iv seen sensors plug with sludge and cause low oil pressure lights at idle.

If I rev it a bit, the light goes out. And the oil is fresh, only replaced like 400 miles ago. I'm hoping for a bad sensor, a lot cheaper than replacing the oil pump.
