I have a 2000 Dodge Caravan, V6, with an engine oil light problem. The oil light came on and stayed on, I had the oil changed and this problem continued. I noticed that when the vehicle is idling the light is on but when I accelerate it goes off. This tells me oil is not getting to the sending unit at idle. (old terminology). What could cause this? I was told it could be the cam bearings or worn enough to block the oil channels. I could really use some fresh ideas or input from someone that has had similiar problems. Thanks....

 

Welcome to DF timmer! Ill move this to the Caravan Section for better input! GOOD LUCK

 

I figured it out, it's the oil sending unit however I do need to know where the unit is located so I can replace it...I checked a manual at Advance and didn't find a reference to it...any help there would be much appreciated.

 

Look for the oil filter, its next to it.
