I bought an '11 Impala off my ex, and it started having this problem a few months later. I've been wondering why it's been throwing that warning when I know it has oil and doesn't overheat. Thanks for the video! Now I get to make my ex replace it since it was his problem in the first place hahaha!

I have a 2006 impala 3.5 , the oil pressure sensors on these have a tendancy to get oil in them. The first thing to do is take it out and clean it, then see if the code or warning is gone.

I hope this is the issue for my wife’s 2010 Impala. It came on just as she parked and then it turned off. It’s just sad because there’s been so many things wrong with this car in the last month or so. Transmission went out and the coolant sensor is also acting up. So far got the coolant sensor fixed but now there’s this. I guess it’s all about fixing it until there’s nothing left to fix and then start all over again

The Oil sensor should last 3/4 life of car. I didn't know this but check 1st if you have over 3,000 mile since last oil change. If so, all you would need to do is change ur oil and your oil pressure sensor will be fine. That happened to me. I had a synthetic oil with 5,000 miles and the oil pressure sensor came on with a obd2 BlueDriver with app. My remote engine start would not work. I change the oil and everything was fine. I did have the oil pressure sensor changed without knowing this. Then 2nd time around..... What , again?! Another sensor?! I did some research on the mater and found ...change your oil it could be just very dirty blocking its performance.

I have a feeling you are correct sir, makes a lot of sense. I will be changing my oil tomorrow as I checked my oil today with the dipstick and is pretty dark.

I think some mechanics, especially dealerships, charge according to the VALUE of the repair to the customer, not the actual cost. How bad does the customer need their car repaired. In my experience, they charge about 3x the retail price that I pay retail. Sure, they have overhead, but it's ridiculously expensive. On your job, 1hr labor @ $80/hr + 3x $30 for the part + tax + shop disposal fees = $207. They haven't thought about charging customers for the air they breathe or parking/storage while the car is there. One of the most valuable classes I took in high school over 55 years ago was auto mechanics. That has saved me $1,000s in labor and parts costs on my own cars.

I can't say for 100% sure, but it is probably the same principle for the Cruz. Check your oil level. Low oil level could cause the oil pressure warning light to come on. If low, you may have a leak, or your engine is burning oil (you'd know, your exhaust would be very smoky). If oil level is good, you may have an oil pressure sensor issue or a bad oil pump.
