What is the thing on the oil pan on a mark VIII?

I assume you are talking about the round thing in the drivers side of the oil pan with a wire coming out of it? It is an oil level sensor. If the oil level is dangerously low upon startup the display center will show OIL LEVEL LOW. This can happen when the car is parked on an extreme grade, usually with the nose of the car lower than the front as there is no oil touching the sensor when you start up...You have to cycle the key on level ground two times to allow the sensor to read that there is sufficient oil in the pan.

check your oil level. if it is low add some. your oil pressure sensor may be faulty, or you could have clogged oil passages. if you change your own oil, put some lestiol in your engine just before you do your next oil change. drive the car for about 5 miles, then come home and change the oil. htis might fix your problem.

Oil light stays on after engine running?

Is the engine tapping when running? If not, check the oil level. If the oil level is at the full mark on the dip stick, then check the oil sending switch. My just need to replace it. Easy fix if that is your problem.
