Today in traffic it was stop and go for about 25 minutes. My red oil warning light would flicker on and off 3 or 4 times and then turn off. I got really nervous at first and was ready to turn off at the next exit. It only happened as I would gently accelerate from an idle. This happened four or five times.
The warning light didn't light up at all after that at highway cruising speeds or even after I got passed about 1000 rpm. Is this the oil pressure sensor that needs to be replaced. I saw a few other threads here about other symptoms.
Is that something I could easily replace myself?
I assume this is the right part:
E46 Oil Pressure Sensor
Part No. 12 here:
