94 Exp oil light
My dayghter has a 94 XLT with 4 liter OHV. This the first time I have noticed a vehicle to have both an oil light and a pressure gauge.
Periodically the check oil light will come on, but the gauge shows very good pressure. The oil level is full. I'm not sure what to make of this. I know the engine was replaced with a rebuild but no idea how many miles are on it now. Oil looks fairly clean tho it is due for an oil change I think.
What do y'all make of this and suggest ?

The oil pressure light and maybe the pressure gauge is activated by an off/on switch @ about 7psi... They are not true pressure gauges. To be on the safe side I would pull one of the switches and connect a gauge and read the actual pressure.
On some of the series there was an oil level sensor, maybe yours has such a device.. Philip

On the 1st gens, the "check oil" light is a level indicator that comes on when it senses low oil level. If you know that the oil level is full, then that suggests a problem with the oil level sensor/circuit.
