The oil pressure sender is located on the front of the engine. it is on the drivers side of the oil filter mount assembly , just over the starter motor. The starter motor is not in the way to re/re the sender unit.

Will low oil pressure on an 89 Chevy Celebrity prevent it from starting?
No I would not expect low oil pressure to keep the engine from starting. Depending on how low the pressure is it might not be a good idea to run the engine much until the low oil pressure problem is corrected. Since there is no gauge built in on that year Celebrity I assume that the oil pressure light is on. Low oil pressure can be caused by a number of problems including failing oil pump, clogged oil filter, low on oil or loose bearings as well as a failing oil pressure sensor. When the pressure sensor fails it tends to show low oil pressure and if that is the cause then replacing the sensor can fix the problem. If it were my car I would first hook up an oil pressure gauge and find out what the pressure is before I attempted to fix the problem. Pressure should be at least 30 psi.

What does it mean when the Oil light comes on 1996 Dodge Intrepid?
It means either your oil pressure is dropping below threshold or the sending unit is bad. To be sure you can either hook up a pressure gauge and when the light comes on see what the "actual" pressure is. Or, you just replace the oil pressure sensor (next to the filter) and see if that fixes the issue. You can get a new sensor for about $30 dollars. I think a pressure gauge is like $60. If it is actually dropping oil pressure then you may have "sludge" build up in the oil pan. Or, the oil pump is failing. Good luck.

Using 5W-30 oil in summer, my Catera's low oil pressure warning and light will come on when the engine is hot. But with 10W-40 oil this condition will not occur. Oil pressure gauge may indicate low pressure, but not enough to trigger the warning or the light.
What causes high oil pressure in a 1998 ford expedition?
Possible clogged oil galley, filter, defective oil pressure gage, or the use of an oil that is the incorrect weight. Replace the oil filter with a Purolator filter and change the oil. Install 5W-30 oil. If the pressure is still high then you need to have the oil pressure tested with an accurate test gage, to see exactly what it is.
The oil pressure gage on your 1993 Chevy silverado is reading 30 at idle and jumping to 60 is that right?
Yes, as you rev the engine higher it increases the revolutions of the oil pump which in turn increases the oil preassure. I have a mechanical gauge and it does not spike like that anymore. The electronic sensor is just slow to react.
