Oil light on 97

[jc71corvette2]

The oil is fine. I keep getting low oil level on the gp. I reset the light by holding reset and light goes off when I start up next time. So then when driving it goes back on right away . Any clue guys

Probably a bad sensor. I don't think I've heard of people cleaning them, you may need to replace it. They're not very expensive http://www.amazon.com/Airtex-AIR5S3003/dp/B000C1ICS4/

How are they replaced

The "OIL LEVEL SENSOR is on the front side of your oil pan. There's a wire that plugs into it.

So you'll probably have to drain the oil first, wait til your next oil change if you want. There should be an o-ring on it, so make sure the surface is clean before installing the new one. I'd use a crescent wrench on it.

Ok. Simple

Ok so The oil pressure switch is totalu dofferent and not my solution? That by the filter

The oil pressure light by the filter will show this on the dash, if that is coming up either you have zero oil pressure or the sensor died.

The low oil light is the one on the pan.

Low oil is the sensor on the pan.
