Intermittent low oil pressure light.

[Inspector14]

i have other transport now. car is parked.

car is under warranty, so its going to the dealer tomorrow morning (on a sunday no less).im getting a rental from them. will post again to tell what the dealer finds out.

im gonna go with a bad sensor on this one. i have not done extended oil intervals, and only used synthetic oil. in fact i have short changed on a couple of intervals. methodicaly checked oil levels.

this is just so frustrating, i got rid of my VW because of constant problems, and now a NEW car only made it 9000 miles before its in the shop.

You made a good move getting rid of the VW and buying a Yaris if you wanted a reliable vehicle. Let this thing play itself out until the source of the trouble is found. You cant make any judgements until then. Really the most important thing is for the dealer to install an oil pressure gauge in place of the oil pressure sender. If the oil pump is putting out good pressure you should have no worries. Good luck and tell us what happens!
