Camry low oil pressure

I had a similar problem with my Camry. The low oil pressure light would come on, especially after the engine warmed up. I also thought it was the oil pressure sensor at first. Have you checked the actual oil pressure with a mechanical gauge? The sensor might be working, and the pressure really is low. What weight oil are you using? Light oil could cause low pressure, especially in an older engine.

Thanks. I haven't checked the oil pressure with a mechanical gauge, just the dashboard light. I'm using the oil type the manual recommends. I'll check the oil pressure with a gauge. Did you ever find a fix for your Camry?

Yes, it was a failing oil pump. The low oil pressure and engine noises were a dead giveaway after I checked the sensor and oil. I'd suggest taking it to a shop to be sure, but it sounds like the oil pump. Driving with low oil pressure can cause serious engine damage, so don't wait too long.

Thanks! I took the car to a shop, and they said the oil pump was bad. The repair cost 755€. Your advice really helped me figure out what was wrong. I appreciate it.
