Reminds me about the time I had KMart change my oil.  Came off the rack
with the oil light on.  Put it back on the rack.  I watched them change
the oil again.  Light still on, but the guy said he could feel the oil
circulating thru the oil filter.  Must be the sensor, they said.  I got
a mile down the road before it froze up.
