Before you panic, if the engine isn't making any ticking or knocking noises, try changing the oil pressure sensor. It may be faulty and not sending a proper signal to the guage.

If you didn't have any oil pressure then I'm sure you would notice a serious loss of power. I agree with richtazz, it may just be the sensor.

Re: 1990 Chev Lumina Oil Pressure

Hi All
This is my girlfriends car. Where do we find the oil press sensor? Is there a way to manually check the pressure? Since the press is low on the guage we have been spooked to drive the car.
Thanks for your input
