Doesn't that oil pressure seem really low, especially for a 15w-50? I run 15w-40 and usually have about 90psi at start up and once completely warmed up/beat on my idle pressure is around 20psi...

It should be a general rule of thumb, if that light ever comes on just shut it off immediately; its not worth the risk. It may be a faulty sensor but you don't know that for sure....

I second what Russ said, don't risk relying on that sensor. If you have a lot of money in your engine, its just dumb not to monitor the basic fluids.
