Hello! My name is Gary. Welcome to JustAnswer. I'm reviewing your question now, and will post back with a reply shortly. The engine still runs normally, not rough idle etc? We need to get a scan for codes please, your local service workshop can do this for you. A common code is P0521 or P0522 for oil pressure switch. Gary
