Pick your favorite brand but look back in the book for the Dodge Stealth. The business end is the same but the filter is much fatter. The Dodge Stealth has a Mitsubishi engine. You'll have to go a few years back - like before 2000.
What I like is I can dump in all five quarts and not have the jug sitting around with half an inch of oil in it.

Would anyone recomend an oil engine flush to add to this process?? Cause I just got my oil change a month ago don't drive my car much but got it used and looks like the previous owner didn't really take care of it and this light only comes on very rare ocasions (usually when driving the vehicle in low fuel) any thoughts??

2 things with the oil pressure problem
1. either your sensor has gone bad like evokid said
or
2. you dont have enough oil. For some reason a lot of people think its 5 qts but its actually 5.4qts. That measurement comes exactly from "the" manual.
My oil sensor started flickering and I put in the correct amount of oil and problem solved.
I also bought that same sensor from vatozone but those bastards didn't tell me about the special socket for it.

how do i get to the oil pressure sensor? bought a new one from autozone but cant seem to find it..do i have the jack the car up or remove anything to get to it? the only socket they had for it was a half inch drive so hopefully i will have room to take it out....any help installing the sensor would be appreciated

when i get my defi gauges, will it come with a sensor? i heard that you will need to splice the wires so the gauge will work without the oil pressure light coming back on. oh and yeah...weird the light stopped flickering just a few hours after i bought the replacement sensor. and i didnt even install it - go figure lol
