Oil light on 2004 Stratus 2.7
First of all, Hello everyone, new here, had my stratus for 2 years, also have a 2000 Durango.
My problem is: my oil light has flickered a couple times on the stratus while I have been at idle in a drive thru. I've never seen it any other time, oil changed 2k miles ago with mobil super high mileage. Oil is Full on stick. Could it be the oil pump? Any other ideas or suggestions? It is a 2.7 v6 with 104,000 miles. I also have a squeeling noise from the belt that will do it mostly when it is cold but sometimes when warm also. Power steering full, belt has typical cracking, everything seems tight. Tensioner? Squeeling gets louder and goes away quicker if you Rev up engine!
Thanks Again,
Derek

I'm having the same problem with my car. Could you explain the gauge type to me? Is it just a plug and play type deal or what? I don't think I know where the sending unit is even located? I just want to make sure my car is hurting. If the pressure is low, what does it take to replace the oil pump? I imagine a lot of work. Thanks for the help!

So lets revisit this. I had car at the shop and replaced the Oil Sending Unit twice. Not sure if they did pressure test, I would hope they did. I will have to check with them. If not do you think its the oil pump? I was told on these engines that fram filters should not be used either, is that true? It is happening at low idles after engine is hot from driving across town. I will see if I can get some answers.

Well There is plenty of pressure, sending unit not leaking. So they went to the TSB's and did this.......
