during making a kinda sharp left turn at 20mph tonight i saw my RED oil pressure light came on in the cluster for like 5 sec and then off. I parked the car in the driveway and check oil on dipstick. It shows full and still very clean (recent oil change). I checked oil again after 10 min and still full. I started the car 3 or 4 times and it runs fine with no oil pressure light on. Would it be safe to continue driving to work? I dont have oil pressure gauge, just a aem wideband o2 and it reads fine if that helps.

Your oil pressure sensor may be failing.

 

Same thing happened to me. I have an 05 VIII w/69K miles on it.

Where is the sensor located?

 

I believe it is under the intake manifold, at the back of the engine. But I am not positive.

 

Affirmative!

 

If your oil pressure sensor is on the bottom of the car by the oil filter it's most likely corroded. Causing the light to come on

 

hmm so is it on the bottom of the car by the oil filter or is ot behind the manifold ok back of engine? lol. anyone have a pix of it?

 

i went to a mech shop and have a oil pressure test and it turned out good. idle was 30 psi and at 2,500 rpm it was like 95 psi or something like that. So could it be just a bad sensor?

 

It could be either or I think the 8's have them on top while the 9's have them on the bottom but I'm not to sure

 

I would replace your oil pressure sensor. Even though you are still reading good oil pressure on the oil pressure tester, the sensor can still be defective.
