Oil pressure low

[Oatmela_23]

Hi, I'm new here not too sure how this works. I've had my 2011 LS Camaro going on three years slowly but surely changing it up. It wasn't until maybe a year ago that it would prompt me "oil pressure low stop engine immediately" but keep in mind it would happen every so often and when it did it would beep non stop for about five seconds rhen go away. It stopped completely for several months and I went for an oil change last week and the next day it promoted me again and it lasted a little longer than before so when I was going to pull to the side of the road it just turned off like nothing ever happened. Computer reads that it has oil, am I missing something? Is anyone else experiencing this? What can I do from here?

Hey Oatmela - Welcome to the board! I'll move this thread over to the 5th gen engine tech section where it will likely get a little more help.

Firstly, low oil pressure is not something you want to drive on as if it is accurate you will destroy your bearings and grenade the motor. Have you tried unscrewing your oil pressure sensor and hooking up a manual one to verify if you are actually getting low oil pressure? This can help you rule out a faulty sensor.

When you had your oil changed so far, have you had any metal shavings in them?

I agree with LETZRIDE rule out a bad sensor first and maybe change the oil yourself next time (if you don’t already) to see what the oil is looking like
