    1995 Sedan Deville: Stop Engine -- Low Oil Pressure

    I have a 1995 Cadillac Sedan Deville that is in fantastic shape. A few weeks
    ago the message "Stop Engine -- Low Oil Pressure" shows up on the display
    when at a dead stop, but disappears and stays off once the car is in motion.
    I replaced the sensor but the light still comes on. I think that the
    computer may need to be reset? Any thoughts? Thanks!

    The Caddies, especially the 4.x series, don't do well with aftermarket
    oil pressure sending units. Unless you used an AC Delco, you might
    want to try one of those before you get into the expensive things.
    As an aside, how many miles on the car and what weight oil are you
    using?

    Nicky, I am using 10w30 Synthetic. The car has close to 80,000 miles on it.

    The oil is correct and the miles are low so at this point I'd replace
    the aftermarket sensor with an AC Delco. If that doesn't do it, you're
    likely looking at doing the oil pump. That's pretty rare, though.

    Make sure you check it with a oil pressure gauge. It will tell you
    how much oil pressure you have. good oil pressure at start is around
    60psi. After warming on the interstate 30 is OK. If its dropping
    down to the 10-20psi range you need a new oil pump!
