Thanks! Corrosion makes sense, given the symptoms. Where is the oil temperature sensor located? And is it easy to reach?

I had the same oil pressure warning and engine light on my 2008. After a workshop visit, it was the oil temperature sensor. The mechanic said the connector was corroded, causing a bad reading. I suggest a workshop to have it checked.

Thanks! I took it to a local mechanic, and you were right! It was the oil temperature sensor and a corroded connection. Cost 95€ to fix. Appreciate the help!

Sounds familiar! I have a Peugeot 2008 too. I'm no expert, but a temperature sensor is basically a resistor that changes resistance with temperature. The car's computer translates that resistance into a temperature reading. If the reading is off, it could trigger warnings. Have you checked the sensor itself for damage or corrosion?
