Default 1.8t oil sensor

Hey guys I'm new to the site and I'm looking for an opinion or someone who knows about this issue who can help. I have an oil can light on my dash and says oil underneath it. I was due for a change as the level was low. Got the oil change 5 days ago and.its still going off but only when I accelerate. Checked the oil pressure and I'm reading 30psi at idle and above when reving. Changed the oil pressure sensor and its still on. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Is it the yellow oil or red oil light in the display?

If it is the yellow warning then it is just the low oil warning. There is an oil level sensor on the bottom of the oil pan that is known to go bad. Had to replace mine when I bought the car.

Have to do it during an oil change. I think it was $90 for the part and easy to swap. Three bolts and an electrical connector.

Good luck and welcome to the club!
